Slings Won't Pull Helicopters, and will stretch until they break

Description

If you try carry a slung vehicle though an object, the slings will stretch until they break.
I believe the distance they will stretch is too long, and does not exert enough force on the helicopter if there is any.

Here is a video displaying what I am talking about:

The video up till that time was to show steps to reproduce

An idea to fix would be to have the strings snap after a certain force threshold instead of after a distance

Edit* Stretching should also provide more force on the helicopter as the rope gets longer
