Exactly. It would be interesting to hook the whole thing up to an electric motor and to winch it (from a safe distance) to the point where it breaks just to determine how much margin there was. Probably not a whole lot past the point that he hand cranked it.

That would be extremely interesting. Would be great to put a dummy where he was squatting in the crank position while you did it too.
