I missed your comment so let me just give some perspective.
Those are not tow ropes. Those are kinetic energy ropes. They're like a tow rope and a bungee cord had a baby. They're made to be pulled like that, the company is literally called Yankum Ropes (buy.yankumropes.com).
Interesting, I did not know. Thanks for the clarification.
As and aside these are actually a prime example of unintended consequences. This channel and a few others showing towing and rescue are now very popular.
So people are having to be told that regular tow ropes and tow straps do not work that way and will break if you try it.
I’ve seen frames bent, suspension bolts broken, bumpers torn off… would be better if the used a zebra pattern cover on those ropes that was incredibly obvious it was something special.
