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.
