    Default Winch / recovery line cable / air damper placement and weighting



    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7STkTpTjDCU

    The video covers a couple areas though the one I found of value is the placement - and weighting (5 kilograms = 11 pounds) - of the strap / winch line breakage cable damper (they call air dampers). Dampers - start at 2m30s thru 6m. Some good slow motion footage of the dampers working and where they work best (placement on the line).
