I watched a gent almost lose an arm while doing vehicle recovery because he didn't dampen the chain with an extra tow strap.
I remember him saying somthing to the effect of "It's a log chain, it takes a lot to break one!" Of course good ole boy #2 didn't understand the principal of taking slack out gently.
Gent #1 suffered multiple fractures to his arm from wrist to shoulder and had a really bruised ego when I gave the typical, "Told ya so!'
