my father told me a story about (and yes, our father's all had that "when I was your age" story) a guy in his high school that did that same sort of thing. This wasn't with a tow strap tho, it was with a chain. It snapped as he slammed tension onto it, and came right thru the rear window of his mom's International Scout. He also, said that it hit the dash (steel dash), so hard that it put a hole right in it that went almost thru the firewall.....imagine if that had hit his head......ouchie.
