While looking for information on winch safety for my old deuce I was disheartened to see so many good people taken down trying to recover a stuck vehicle.
With those guys in my thoughts I'd like to get as much "Recovery Safety" information all in one place for those who will be anywhere around a rope, chain or winch.
I'm new to big winches so all tips, links, TM's, videos or data will be greatly appreciated.
Found 2 threads on the site so far with the first one linking to a decent "winch guideline". There must be more so if we can bump good threads or move them here it would help.

This post was one of the reasons I was inclined to re-new this information.

I don't want to post a bunch of sick videos of folks getting hurt doing this but whether you're in a vehicle or a bystander, please get familiar with winching and recovery hazards.
