The tow strap position gives it a touch of reality, like the Jeep
rolls to a stop after the hook breaks loose and blows off a part of the
drivers head. Then, if it's like the Jeeper I observed he bleeds like a
stuck pig for about thirty seconds as a gallon and a half was pumped
from his body and pools in the seat, floor boards and out the tailgate.

The photo was for sure staged or 'reconstructed', it even says so.

The guy went and put the strap back in for the photo. He got hauled
away out cold to hospital when it happened.

I have also seen those long square military straps. They are strange
but the folks swear by them.
