🔍 Key Concepts

• Effects of slack or loose towing gear on control of the tow • Relationship between towline tension and risk of damage or parting • How tow configuration affects maneuverability and safety

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens when the towline is not kept properly taut. How does that affect control of the tow and strain on the equipment? • For each choice, ask yourself: does a loose tow make this outcome more likely, less likely, or have no effect? • Consider whether any option sounds like a benefit of poor towing practice, and whether that makes sense in real operations.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, decide if it is a hazard/negative consequence of loose towing or not. • Visualize the tow surging forward and falling back on a loose line—what does that do to gear, handling, and safety? • Identify which option describes something that would not reasonably result from an unsafe, loose tow.
