🔍 Key Concepts

• Towing safety during emergency release • How stored energy and snap-back in lines can injure crew • Purpose of different fittings and gear used in towing (preventers, chain leads, quick‑release devices)

💭 Think About

• Which option specifically helps control or reduce the dangerous whipping motion of a line when the tow is released? • Which choice is mainly about engine power rather than controlling the behavior of the towline itself? • Think about which device or method is designed to absorb or redirect shock loads vs. which is designed just to let go quickly.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are primarily about quick release versus actually controlling whip/snap‑back of the line • Consider how weight and stiffness (like chain vs. wire or synthetic line) affect whipping action • Eliminate any option that would increase the force or speed in the towline at the moment of release
