is that uneveness the reason why people at NJ never used the winch?

In NJ we never used the bar lowering device due to teams not wanting to and sayibng tey could just lift it off. After the MOE incident you mentioned we did tell them that if they are in the same instance again we will lower it due to time constraints. But the field staff were having some fun raising and lowering some people at times but then again this is FIRST isnt it!
