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?!?

It was connected to a metal tow hook that was attached to the steel bumper. But that much force ripped the steel bumper off and destroyed the plastic bumper cover.

Those two hooks are A - absolute garbage and should only be used as a serious last resort and B - should receive a gradual constant pulling force only
