This is what my eye looks like after getting smashed when I used a sh*ty piece of rope to yank someone out on my quad. I went cheap and payed a big price Blind in that eye now. I strongly recommend using a very high quality specifically designed for pulling static or kinetic. Don't go cheap, have some sort of line damper, use soft straps to reduce heavy flying objects. Have everyone stay out of the area.
So? Mid priced?

This is where things get real. Sorry for the situation, but Thank You for sharing.


For others, please also remember that a kinetic energy rope is not the same as a tow strap. Two very different tools.

They have a website with some videos of recoveries. Seems to be priced similarly to the one you posted.
Great product, reasonably priced and the jerk pirates provide a great service at Pismo.
