Too bad about that person being killed.
I was always under the impression that when using a nilon tow or snaching strap, that wraping a blanket around the strap will prevet that from happining, when I was in a off road club that is what we did regardless of the strap or chain I have seen untrained people use the ball of there hitch to hold the strap or chain and I have seen them brake too and watch the strap pop back through the window of the vehicle being dislodged. I have also seen what happens when a blanket is wraped around the strap, it snaps back and it looses all its energy when it reaches the blanket then falls to the ground.
