(b) A crushing hazard from a boom collapse due to a missing boom stop. (c) A crushing hazard from falling trees when trees are uprooted by tightening and swinging the guy line while skidding. One feasible and acceptable means of abatement would be to use a three tuck eye and a shackle at the point of attachment and to replace the missing boom stop.
