A cable break-away device for a rescue hoist (12) connects a cable (16) to a cable drum (18) of the rescue hoist (12). The cable break-away device provides overload protection to the rescue hoist by disconnecting the cable (16) from the cable drum (18) when the loads transmitted through cable become excessive. The cable break-away device is configured to fracture, releasing the cable (16) from the cable drum (18), when the loads experienced by the cable break-away device exceed a predetermined failure set point. As such, the cable break-away device forms a mechanical fuse connecting the cable to the cable drum.
