The rope was the cause for the failure, before lifting they didn’t check visually for the hidden damage of the rope. They relayed on capacity.
One more reason is rope pulley angle was not correct.
Nice comment: Hidden, Vissual. If something is Hidden, then mostly NOT vissible. No Use to go and look for hidden damage. You will Never find that. That why it is Hidden !!!!!
Where is the tag line.
They should use the tag line to control any lifting activity.
And, is there any colour code at the lifting arrangements ?
I don’t think so, that is a simple think result to big incident.
before anchorage ,to make sure the winch working properly
