Perhaps a blade heated by the engine exhaust Maybe in an emergency the winch driver could climb out of the cab, grab hold of the (hopefully stationery) plasma rope and pull it over a hot exhaust pipe to cut it. Worth thinking about if you fortunate enough to winch with plasma. We have a set of bolt cutters mounted in the winch cab to function as a backup to cut our steel cable in the unlikely event that the winch guillotine fails to function in an emergency. It is part of the equipment that must be present on the winch before launching commences. (Normally they only get used for cutting off scrap cable after a tangle on the drum). Cheers Ian
