A winch is just a simple electric motor with gears and a cable... It's a very basic device. You should have a disconnect (or method to disconnect) just about all electrical devices. That would have minimized your problem.
The real problems one can't prevent is the cable breaking, mounts breaking or the motor burning out. All are problems common to all winches...know the potential problems and be prepared.
