I can’t find its empty weight online easily, but this booster is quite a bit heavier than these film canisters were. I would be concerned about the impact catching it would have on the helicopter.
I guess the hook they use for catching it must be hanging from a somewhat line that deforms on impact, becoming longer while absorbing lots of energy. You don’t want this behaving like a heavy bungee jumper under your helicopter.
