Default Swivel On Winch Cable

Tost's cable handling notes prohibet the use of a swivel between the cable
and winch parachute They say it destroys the multistrand cable.- Swivel is
only to be used for towing out.
THis is counter intuitive - can anyone offer an explanation why this is so?


Thanks

John Spargo
