• a pair of retaining bars extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the travel path,
• plates of energy-absorbing material arranged between the retaining bars, the plates being arranged one above another in the longitudinal direction between the retaining bars, and
• a plow movable relative to the retaining bars such that, upon overwinding of the conveyance, the plow deforms and/or destroys the plates of energy-absorbing material between the retaining bars,
• wherein either the plow is movable and the retaining bars are stationary on the overwind path or the plow is stationary on the overwind path and the retaining bars are movable.
