watch the way you wrap the rope, as IMHO the 1st turn round the peg on the drum looks a bit tight on bend radius since its got most of the load before you loose load by friction.hope this makes sense

Yeah looks like he's using his own device wrong. Why have you gone back on yourself creating a tight bend?
