Good Q.! .... But how "bad" must they be .....!?

Lets asume they give up at one half, no - one quarter! of the desired strenght (or what a "safe and sound" shear pin could do): that bad guy still would be able to produce way over 1ton of tension in the rope in its upper layer, more than enough to lift a complete MF engine W/tranny or at least .... have it tight and neatly wound on the drum!
