Stupidity: After eating the bird, why didn't Becky send her phone down inside the bird, but instead climbed down to put her phone inside Hunter's body?

Directed by: Scott Mann
Starring: Virginia Gardner, Grace Caroline Currey, Mason Gooding
Genres: Thriller
Continuity mistake: When the ladder falls off, several rungs remain at the top and are through the rest of the movie (eg. when Becky climbs down she attaches her rope to the lowest of these rungs). However, when the ladder first breaks and Becky is falling, there is a shot looking up at the platform that shows the entire ladder breaking off, with no rungs left attached to the platform. (00:38:44)
Becky: Fuck off.
James Conner: Don't talk to me that way. Your mother and I raised you better than that.
Trivia: For the film, a real radio tower was built, albeit significantly shorter. The film was shot on a tall mountain, to give the illusion that the tower was much taller. A blue screen was placed below it. The two main female characters did their own stunts.
Question: There is a running theory that Becky actually did not survive, and that her father was imagining reuniting with her was actually his brain reacting to him seeing her body, whether or not first responders were on scene. So, if Becky actually was rescued, how could the helicopter have gotten close enough to reach her without the satellite collapsing due to the helicopter's downwash or the propellers hitting the tower itself?
Answer: There's no indication that the ending is anything but real; the other twist in the film is heavily foreshadowed through dialogue, camera framing, and so on, none of which applies to the ending. A helicopter could have hovered above the tower and lowered a rescue basket/rope to Becky, as she's less than 100 feet from the very top. Given that the tower was probably constructed using a helicopter to position the final pieces of the structure (a common practice for communications towers of this height), there's no reason why it couldn't have held up. The tower itself is never shown to be weakened or compromised, only the ladder affixed to the outside.
