Yes, even a jacket or heavy tow strap draped over the middle will work.. When I snapped my cable it was so short of a pull I didn't put anything over it.. Nobody got hurt as we were all standing in safe places, but it was a nice reminder if winch safety

Staying in jeep is horrible advice as u are actually winching? Should he stand next to steel cable instead,?

I read your post wrong but either way you won't be able to suck fast enough no matter where you are.

LOL! That is funny.

My 2 year old iPhone freezes in the middle of almost every post. It's hard to even send a text. Guess its time to buy a new one.

If you're ever stressing your winch and it is possible to do so, or you're really worried about breaking a cable, just open your hood for added protection. I may seem silly, but it will stop a cable and hook
