re: Cargo Lift for New Camp

My neighbors Son-In-Law had one at his house. The couple was riding up 2 yrs ago and a cable broke. They came crashing down about 18 ft. and both broke bones (compound) and ankle joints. They were flown by helicopter to N Oaks emergency and required hrs of surgery and 10 months of hospital and nursing home care. After 2 yrs they are beginning to walk.
Horrible.
If people will ride in it, you must have a safety device to stop the fall if the cable breaks. They are lucky to be alive. Very dangerous for humans. Needs back up safety.

the new cargo lifts I have seen have an inertia latch that should engage if cage abnormally accelerates going down. Cable inspections are critical , After 4-5 years in a salt water enviorment, they will suddenly break
