I would have no problem standing next to one when it breaks.
I was standing next to it the first time it broke.
It was absolutely no big deal. The weave of the rope expanded 2 to 3 times the
diameter dissipating the energy and dropped to the ground within 3 feet of where it broke.
If you do break one, you can tie a knot in it to get your self back into winch mode. Fairly sure you can't do that with steel cable.
Nothing is unbreakable.
Bullet-Proof..........Maybe
Unbreakable.........Never
