That's when a rescuer is lowered from a hovering helicopter and attaches a harness or litter basket to the Subject and the helicopter lifts both of them to safety a short distance away without bringing the subject or rescuer back up to the helicopter -- they dangle beneath the helicopter as it flies somewhere safer.

It is not necessary that a rescuer or litter be involved. Merely that the rescued be picked up and not be brought into the helicopter.

 

Speaking from experience it is a fun albeit short ride :D
