@CenturyOldRacer It was the end of the day, I was tired, and racing alone. I pulled up to the rear of the trailer, and put the car in park which I never do but it was trying to roll back, and I had no other way to hold it while I got out to hook up the winch cable. Then I got distracted loading the mini bike, and started to winch the car in. Since I just switched over to this trailer the winch had a new battery which gave it more power. I started winching forgetting the car was in park (did I mention I was exhausted?) anyway the cable tightened up, and snapped which could have ended really badly. Thankfully it snapped right at the winch so all the cable sprung into the front of the car instead of at me.
