It's a change in technology, man, and worth it's weight in gold. I always rocked 2 x 3" straps, 30' long, for this - Sometimes, you need to take that slack in the strap up, with force, to unstick someone. That's when they either get unstuck - or shiit breaks. Never broke a 3" strap, but I've broken mounting attachments, or mounting points. Hazard of the game.
IMHO, the kinetic or stretch straps are a gamechanger. You hit that thing hard, to unstick, it stretches to it's limit, and when it has to contract again - it's yanking some stuck bastard right out - or breaking something. The chance of breaking something is alot less with these kinds of straps, than the rigid straps. It's a far greater technology, now.
