In the event of a winch failure, can a Site Controller manually winch the flyers to the top of the launch tower?

In the event of a winch failure, the procedure dictates that the Site Controller must wait for assistance rather than attempting to manually winch the flyers to the top of the launch tower. This approach prioritizes the safety of the flyers and ensures that experienced personnel handle the situation appropriately. Relying on assistance helps to maintain the integrity of safety protocols and minimizes the risk of further complications or accidents that could arise from a manual intervention.

The alternatives suggest either a capability to manually operate the system or the notion that there are no restrictions, which does not align with the established safety protocols designed to manage potentially hazardous situations effectively. Following proper procedure during equipment failures is crucial in maintaining a safe environment.
