Despite the strength of the cables (with wire and synthetic) in winches today, accidents still happen, and when a cable breaks, a winch damper is there to help. Due to the considerable energy generated in the cables when winching, should a break occur, the winch damper will absorb it, hence reducing the recoil and minimising the risk of hitting the user, or those immediately around. It is still strongly suggested that users and those in the immediate area still well clear during winching.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Saber Offroad Winch Damper weighs in at 1kg and measures up at 500mm x 450mm when folded to provide the best protection should a winch cable snap.
