Maaaaaaate I agree
using the tow ball to snatch of is madness - I use Dyneema Rope! (Low stretch)
If the towball came off I doubt it would slingshot into my Jeep, I think towing a big caravan would put more strain on it than I did - but I take your point, and it did cross my mind as I hooked it up.....
