"I don't believe it was a Koepe winder but rather a double drum hoist which appears to have suffered an overwind incident. To my mind from the info provided the injuries were sustained in the headframe and the jack catches which prevented loss of the cage (& more lives) down the shaft worked. Interested to know if they have electrical safety devices as I suspect. Modern hoists employ electronic safety devices to prevent overwinds no longer the mechanical Lilly controllers"
