The Delta Helicopters Aerospatiale AS350 BA, C-FKDS, was departing from a drill site with a 60-foot long line, on a local flight. On departure, the long line hook snagged a tree, and then broke free, flew up and fouled the tail rotor and tail boom. The helicopter lost tail rotor authority and rotated several times before the pilot made a forced landing in a wooded area. The pilot suffered minor injuries. The helicopter sustained substantial damage.
