Interesting as I see the same issue, with same symptoms once or twice a game using the GTX260, Win7 32bit. The game is happily running even though the display has stopped, you can even exit cleanly and save your game so you don't loose any progress! I've run in windowed mode and when it goes black I see a windows pop-up saying the NVidia display driver crashed and recovered. I wonder why, it doesn't happen predictably or at any obvious trigger.

I guess that's the problem, I don't know what I am doing wrong. It's not behaving like the other lift missions. I'm in a dead stop perfect hover above the thing (which like you say is hard but do-able)... the moment the attachment is made it gets damaged. There is no opportunity to move or adjust collective or anything - there is less than 1second between finishing attachment and getting the damage, so my technique isn't something I feel I can change very much... its frustrating.

Yep, stuck as well. Its nice to know its possible, after 10 attempts of what I would consider an absolutely perfect pick up, I thought it must be a bug. I think it should be patched, if there is some special non-obvious technique then there should be some special instructions so that it doesn't just feel like a bug.
