A load release system provides load control safety for a rotary aircraft by automatically and manually releasing a load from an attached anchor when a predetermined load design point is reached. The system includes a cord that is disposed to extend between the load and the anchor, often through an anchor line. The cord is configured to release the load manually or automatically at a predetermined load design point, such as an excessive force, weight, tension, or movement. A load end includes a carabiner that manually attaches to and releases from the load. An anchor end includes a manual quick release ring with a pivoting end that is locked and released with a pin. The manual quick release ring is manually attached to and released from the anchor. An automatic release section automatically separates when the predetermined load design point is reached.
