## Narrative

The hoist rope for the Flat Creek Main Emergency Escape Capsule broke during a functionality test.  Ice had accumulated on the guide ropes which stopped the capsule's descent, allowed slack to gather in the rope, and allowed the capsule to drop the corresponding distance of the slack in the rope, which resulted in breakage of the hoist rope.
