How not to pull a car out of the water

Rule number 1: Stay back, these guys are not pros!

A chain would not snap like that since it is not elastic. It would just break and drop down.

That's why army only uses chains to pull out trains of mud even though some synthetic tethers can be stronger and lighter.
I think it was Dirty Jobs that had a segment where he was tasked with getting a tank out of a mud. Military has math books that allow them to calc how much additional weight they need to pull depending on how deep a vehicle has sunk.

Any idiot should know not to stand next to the rope/chin when pulling some one out - or I guess not everyone!
