Ben,
Although this thread started in a very different place, winch cable breaks
(as opposed to aerotow cable breaks), -which I assume you are talking
about - are a different kettle of fish entirely - for a start they occur
quite routinely. Nevertheless, after 80 odd years the procedures to deal
with a winch cable break are well documented, and work well if followed.

What ever happened to landing straight ahead within 30 Deg of the runway
centre line for a cable break simulated or not.
Teaching students to whip a beast around after they have buggered around
and lost airspeed is fatal in my opinion.
Ben
and you cant do that under 1000 feet.
All bets are off if it is an emergency. You need to do what is safe and
appropriate.
