This is terrible news, with another winch launching death in Australia
on the weekend.

Condolances to all touched by these horrible events.

On another thread JJ Sinclair offered temporary sticks/supports for
wings about to depart from outlanding alone.

Has anyone used such a temporary strut system for winching?


Why not simply keep the left hand *very* close to the release handle
as suggested by standard operating procedure?
