If it's not a hazard, why do anything about it?

Because if you don't release the weak link is going to break, which
leaves you in a launch failure situation rather than a releasing at a
more moderate angle, which is preferable.

Ah. So it is a hazard, then?

RE the club we're not naming - amazingly I understand they've not had
a winch launch accident, at least not recently. Other clubs have
though.

You know who I mean, then? Their members are said to be rather prone
to accidents at other sites ...
