What film were you using? Sprockets should have ripped if you kept pressing
the button, the clutch in the winder should have skipped, but pulling the
film out shouldn't have happened with store bought film. It can easily
happen with bulk loaded.

Subject: [OM] Winder 1 film end stop problem
| I recently used for the first time my Winder 1
| (purchased used) with my OM1 MD. At the end of the
| film (last exposure), I continued to press the winder
| shutter release, not realizing I had reached the end
| of the roll. (easy to do in the heat of wild game
| shoot on an African safari). The winder continued to
| fire and advance, advancing the film off the end of
| the film can. I lost the several shots that were
| multiple exposures on the last frame, but was able to
| salvage the roll in a dark room. But my question is,
| according to the manual, there is supposed to be a
| "Solid-state circuit for automatic film wind stop
| after last exposure". Is there something wrong with
| my winder or camera, or is the manual misleading me?
| How is the auto film wind stop supposed to work? I
| have reconfirmed with a test roll of film that there
| is no auto stop at the last exposure. Thanks in
| advace for any advice.
