I just want to throw in my two cents... ESD from rescue helicopters has killed more than one rescuee as they reached for the cable. That is why the choppers drag the cable to the person rather than dangle it above. So the scene from Red October is over dramatic in the sense that no-one executes rescues in that manner any more!!
