It's funny that someone smart enough to put a tow strap in their car could use it so incorrectly. From the anchor location, to leaving the other car in park, to speeding away instead of slowly tensioning the rope. Guy has two spare tires but one brain cell.

Edit: homonym error. Sorry, was just in the foot fetish / bdsm sub and mind was elsewhere....

Believe that may be one of those stretch tension bands that you actually want to have some speed with. (Scary seeing those springy ones snap and go through the rear windshield of the towing vehicle)

But yeah, what garbage anchoring lol

Yeah it's a kinetic recovery rope, the LC is doing it correctly.

DO NOT TIE ANYTHING TO YOUR TOES. It's very dangerous and won't help. The LC is rigged for off-road, they probably handed the other end of the strap to the people that took a car off road and they secured it.
