NOTE: if the cable snapped, you will NOT be able to open the door as this cable provides the balancing force to offset the weight of the garage door. The same thing goes if a spring breaks. The red emergency handle is ONLY GOOD for failure of the actual garage door opener system. In this case all of the springs and cables are intact so the garage door can be relatively easily opened (if it was balanced correctly).
