There was a vid on youtube with a chain that broke and flew thru the rear window of a JK. See if I can dig it up later.

one thing you need to remember is in-spite of Bubba's youthful :hysterical: looks he is very experience and unlike most of the muppets on youtube, he knows what he is doing.

most people use what ever they have and just drive off so any break will be more severe than it needs to be. like with everything  if its done right the risk of damage is minimal.

I'm sure your's are fine, Bubba and you know what you're doing but these guy's snapped and it catapulted right through the back window and out the windscreen. If someone had been sat in the way it would have near decapitated them. :icon_eek:

I thought that! Dunno why I got it into my head it was a JK. Probably because it was posted at some time on the JK Forums. Heh, I'm going senile at 40... :icon_eek:

Thats what happens when you snatch whether it be with chain rope or strop,as opposed to just a simple straightforward tow.All that energy has to go somewhere
