Why did they do that?

What were they testing, the design

Knowing the Chinook I would suspect it was to do with the gearbox!

Is there a ROYAL SOCIETY for the PROTECTION of HELICOPTERS?

Personally I'd have released the parking brake (al a Wallace and Gromit's Grand Day Out) and taken off.

Cracking idea Grommet

According to this site http://www.chinook-helicopter.com/video/video.html

"One of the disadvantages of a fully articulated rotor system, such as that found on the CH-47 Chinook helicopter, is the susceptibility to ground resonance. Items to consider in limiting the chances of encountering ground resonance include ensuring that all tires are inflated to 88 psi and all landing gear struts and blade dampeners are properly serviced. The two videos below show the result of a Chinook helicopter falling victim to ground resonance. The tail number was 84-24156, and was the one that previously encountered uncommanded flight control inputs which resulted in the aircraft performing a barrel roll. After the roll incident, the aircraft was assigned to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland, and was utilized as a ground test device."

Lots more Chinook stuff there too.
