Baston - but it didn't stop and it wasn't a winching accident, it was an engine failure (nearly two) and you didn't damage the winchman because you were in the right position.

If the Aus guys had bent the winchman because of an engine failure I would still have asked questions about having the paramedic on the wire as well but not about the cause of the accident - they don't appear to have had such a malfunction.

If it had been a rogue wave breaking over a container vessel I feel sure that the report might have read somewhat differently.
