Kinetic ropes are what?

[Guest]

Hi Guys
http://www.difflock.com/offroad/bowyer/ropes2.shtml
has an explanation of Ninetic ropes or as they seem to be called Kerr ropes so are they one in the same. Reno it does get hot here when you open the oven door and stand there for a while.

OK,
Kerr ropes are basically a piece of elastic, you have to know how
far to go with the towing vehicle, while the towed vehicle is not
moving, before you stop. If you do not have a marker to stop at and
the stuck vehicle is really stuck, you can rip bit's off the vehicle.
I read a report last year of a bit of LR going through a towing
vehicle like this. It would kill you if it hit you.
