Had a 20,000lb strap break when I was winching a double line pull with my truck. It was an 8000lb winch and I was surprised it didn't recoil to much. Maybe if the cable would have broke instead of the strap. I also try to put something over the cable/rope when making a hard pull. I had a floormat over the line that seemed to help.

i have been on the reciving end of a chain snapping and coming through my windshield(thankfully i ducked in time) so i can guess a cable under great stress would have sorta the same effect. keep an eye on the cable for any kind of fry's to help reduce any breakage down the road. if you have 20+ feet of cable out it's pretty hard to cover it all but it's not a bad idea if you can.
