[QUOTE="John Galbreath Jr., post: 364402, member: 31"] I am a very safety minded person. But I would have been severely hurt at the SETTC event in 2010 spotting Garry Smith when I was pulling slack out of his winch line laying on the ground so he would not run over it with the tires. Well, he did not make the climb, and the slack came out of the line faster than I would have thought possible. The line pulled into my armpit and the line snapped. It bruised me immediately from my wrist to my armpit and my side. I thought I was hurt, and just sat down where I was. It was cold, so I had on a coat. There was a medic standing within 10 feet and he checked me out as Garry was exiting the vehicle. He told me I was not hurt, I told Garry to get back in and I heckled him on to the top of Los Primos. Never again, if you don't stop, you can just run over the winch line. Never again will I pick up one laying on the ground. If that had been cable, I may have lost my arm. [/QUOTE]
