I always tie a rope to the center of the length of cable for ust an event. If the cable snaps, the rope will take up the energy...not my head.

I'm trying to picture what you're saying and I'm failing; please explain as though I have the cognitive function of someone who took experimental drugs in exchange for a donut.

You have the tow strap/cable attached to the stuck vehicle and then the other end attached to the tow/pulling vehicle. Directly in the middle of both vehicles, you tie a heavy rope or wrap a heavy chain leaving lengths of the rope/chain hanging down onto the ground. "IF" one of the attachment points fail and the strap/cable/chain begins hurling away from the attachment point and toward the other vehicle, the rope/chain tied on in the middle of the line, will absorb the energy and prevent the line from continuing into the other vehicle. It decelerates the lines movement very rapidly.

A rope tied from the hauling vehicle to the cable's middle point would limit the cable's travel distance to around half its length in case it snaps

What's weird is I've always heard it with just a blanket over the middle! I don't know how it could dissipate energy either.

Holy shit that's brutal. It didn't just knock him out dead, his face exploded into gore too. Videos like this, the russian brick video, etc, have made me scared about going about my day and then having some ultra high speed blunt object coming loose in an accident and blowing my face up too 😟.

EDIT: Any details? What country? Year? Interesting backstory tidbits?

Jesus, more people get seriously injured and killed trying to pull stuck vehicles out it amazes me. Simple things can, and should be done prior to trying to remove a stuck vehicle. It's truly unbelievable the ignorance and disregard for safety, and their very lives, that people unnecessarily put themselves in. It's just incredible.
