Lost 50 feet of cable off the boom at a job in Phoenix last month

Was setting up a tower crane near Camelback Road and a gust caught the tagline, pulled a whole bundle loose before I could hit the brake. Spent two hours untangling it on the ground with the foreman staring at me. Anyone else had a cable birdnest on them and found a trick to stop it from happening again?

Idk man, I think that gust might've just been bad luck timing more than anything preventable.

Is that just how stuff goes sometimes for everyone?
