Wow! Looks like it was rope too and not steel cable.
I did not think the danger was there when using rope. Clearly there is!

If it can store energy chances are it has the ability to mame or even worse kill.
As you know you cant let your guard down for one second, cause pretty sure it will
bite and bite hard.

Fitting proper recovery points to your vehicle protects the other vehicle, theirs may not be as robust as yours and fail first.
I'm an electrician and have to learn CPR, won't help me but I make sure anyone working with me knows what to do.
Snatch straps should be made with a stitched joint in the middle that will fail when extreme force is applied, and a damper built in either side.
Best demonstration of the forces of moving objects I've seen was,
Dvive a six inch nail 1inch into a tree, hang a lump hammer off it with about 2 foot of rope. All good. Lift hammer up to nail and let go. Either nail bends or pulls out.

Well that's put me off my dinner, very lucky only his arm, definitely something to remember - to stop me doing something stupid without stopping and thinking first.
