Recovery & safety

Winch safety — how far do you walk spectators, really?

Asha RWA

I have watched people film from the blanket. That is not a memory I want on this board.

What is your actual brief before the rope comes tight? Damper, blankets, radios, and the sentence you use when someone will not move.

I walk them to the other side of the vehicle or behind a solid object and I wait. If someone will not move, the rope does not come tight. I have delayed a recovery for that and I will again.

The sentence I use: “If it breaks, it will not care that you wanted a video.” Then I hold the remote until the space is empty.
