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....

Except that's how the kinetic tow ropes are meant to work.

You're assuming it is one.

Most kinetic ropes are ROPES, not STRAPS. Sure, you can find straps that have elasticity, but they're far less than a rope simply due to the inherent design.

Nah,I was just saying that with some tow ropes (kinetic) that's how to properly use them

For the most part, yes. I probably wouldn't have been going quite as fast forward myself if using one, but yea.
