the poor guy in that video will NEVER fully recover from that physical injury,(if he lives )
we have generally placed two spare tires,simply stringing the jerk strap through the center hole on the wheels,
strung out & spaced about 1/3rd and 2/3rds of the way between the two vehicles along the tow/winch or recovery strap,
just because of that type of failure, a large canvas tarp draped over , most of the tow straps length, may help, a tow strap with a tarp,will lower the snap back velocity considerably , but may not prevent damage
the two spare tires along the strap result in a busted strap or chain generally being restrained in the distance the loose end can travel,as the considerable mass tends to stop the snap back , of strap energy,
if the line snaps, yes its a bit extra work,
but you stand FAR LESS RISK of a busted windshield,
or major injury if the tow strap suddenly comes loose.
