Ropes, wire break and whip under stress.
No, they don't, if you use Spectra. Steel cables did that but it should not be used anymore. Costello made that point clear: winches with steel cable or solid wire will be uninsurable. Ask any operation that switched from steel to Spectra or similar - they will tell you what difference it made. We have not had a single line failiure since we switched.
I highly recommend that before you start operating a winch at your club to get in touch with other operations and get advise on the general procedures..
Keep it safe,
