repel from a helicopter; ski patrol on Cyprus

From a September 21 article - "Missing hiker found dead" - on Vancouver 24 hours online, we learn that someone had to repel, and not rappel, from a helicopter. I would've liked to have been there to see what repelling from a helicopter looks like.

The 70-year-old man must've been a very fast hiker if he was seen on Cyprus last Monday. The Mediterranean island is thousands of kilometres from the Lions Bay area where he was found. Interestingly, Cypress is pretty close to Lions Bay.
