Breakaways for M149?

Explanation:
Breakaways provide an independent release path for a sling-load, allowing the helicopter to detach from the load quickly if something goes wrong or the load becomes entangled. For the M149, two breakaways are required because the trailer is rigged with two primary lift points (forward and aft). Each lift point needs its own release path so that, if one line snags, the other can still release and the helicopter can depart safely. Having two breakaways ensures a safe, controllable separation rather than relying on a single release line or none at all. Zero would not provide any independent release; one would leave a single point without a dedicated release path; five would be unnecessary.
