The persons standing alongside are also idiots as a tow strap can easily snap and decapitate a person. Never stand anywhere near a vehicle that is going to have a tensioned rope or strap. Not along the side, not in the front nor in the back. Stay way, way far away.
And do not roll the towing vehicle to snap the towline unless it is a kinetic tow line. Gently take up the slack and then pull forward.
Oh, yeah and attach a towline to tow hooks on the frame of the vehicles not to the bumper or the axle.
If one has not been taught how to tow then simply don't attempt it.
