From memory the cable ran off the drum due to incorrect tolerances set after a cable change. Most winch's generally will stop " full out " with 4-5 wraps on the drum, the cable will be secured to the drum with a small non load bearing grub screw.
From what I've heard this one, due to incorrect settings just kept on paying out until it came off.
