[quote="notjustair"](quoted from post at 19:43:27 07/30/15) They won't fall limp to the ground. There is far too
much energy to dissipate there. When I was much

under after the chain came through the back
window of the tractor. His wife was a widow at 23. I
got to buy new door glass on the 4440 from a

In my post I said MOST times the chain will fall limp on the ground. In retrospect I should have worded it different. I too have seen a chain fly if the two hitching points aren't parallel. I've seen a chain fly sideways when it was wrapped around something with a large diameter and the hook let go. When I was on the harvest I had to be constantly vigilant of the young inexperienced crew members then they hooked a chain to a stuck combine or truck. I have had to stop the pulling vehicle in the middle of the pull till the young bystanders backed off. It is never a completely safe situation.
