A reeling device including a reel (3) for holding, paying out and winding in a linearly extendable flexible member, means for biaising said reel in a direction of rotation (4) for winding in said member and a latching mechanism (21 and 23) adapted to prevent winding in of said member; the latching mechanism including a member (23) rotatable with the reel and movable under centrifugal force between a non-latching and latching position in consequence of the rate of rotation of the reel exceeding a predetermined magnitude. |
