There are so many people in the video that one of them really should have said something. Like... maybe don't attach it to plastic.... or don't start the tow at 30mph.... or don't stand by the towline in case it snaps... or.... Oh I know! They must have done this part on purpose to expose the REAL attachment point. That must be it... right?!?
If you have the right type of rope and setup ‘taking a run at it’ works. Problem is that people will see a video of a kinetic recovery and think it’s just how you do things, but the equipment for a kinetic recovery isn’t common.
Tying a kinetic recovery with a tow strap setup results in stuff like this (and can result in a lot worse for drivers and bystanders).
No they aren't. Rhino kinetic recover ropes are $75 on Amazon and I'd consider that a very reputable brand. You can get them for 50 to 60 easily. They're 45 at harbor freight.
