    New extreme sports.......... bungy jumping on a loaded winch cable.
    Noticed the Disco parked in the background. Would have thought he had more brains.

    I suppose if one of them got cut in half some one would be suing the snatch strap or winch cable manufacturer for lack of proper instructions??????

    Am I allow to swear on this forum???

    Expletives apart I think all the partcipants and organisers need a kick up the %^&*

    With number of people there and the way that logs are on the slope I assume that it is one of the worst (dis)organised event ever from the safety perspective.


    Lets get something straight, a winch blanket will NOT stop a steel winch wire from lashing around when a steel cable breaks. It is a VISUAL indication of a winching operation taking place.

    Having seen a steel cable penetrate the full width (12"/300mm) of a hard wood railway sleeper and stick out the other side by 24"/600mm, winching operations should be done in a SAFETY ZONE. i.e. all non essential people should be well away from the operation, something like a circle of radius the max length of cable being used.

    Even if a synthetic winch cable is being used people should still keep well away.

    Regards

    Brendan

    ROTFLMAO


    You've got to be kidding, who in their right mind would do that.
    The first time my 12yo daughter saw a toyo being winched she knew to stand well back without anyone telling her.
    It's just plain common sense, isn't it????

    What are you all complaining about - they had their worksafe approved gloves on - what are you worried about a few wire splinters.......

    leeds - your reply is very sobering!
