I think the hard part of getting a line down to the ground is the dropping it part. A rope will just get caught in branches, even small branches. The helicopter can't push a rope down. Picture it. How do you push a rope? So this is heavy and pointy. It will go down through the branches. Going back up, the helicopter is pulling it in with force, so the branches will bend out of the way. The small ones anyway, and the larger branches can be dodged by the person riding the thing. You just push against them as you go up.
As for comfort, it looks like hell, but I'd be happy to ride it if it meant my life would be saved.
