[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1533791, member: 14668"] The simple way to prevent this from happening is to drape a blanket or a tarp (or even your jacket if nothing else is available) over the middle of the tow strap. If the strap snaps, the blanket/tarp/jacket acts as a sort of "parachute" that creates drag and absorbs the kinetic energy of the broken strap, preventing it from flying back with enough velocity to damage anything.
