RBoots, I'm not sure that brakes could stop you faster than 1 G because of the coefficient of friction between rubber and the road. But lets say it could and a person had a 12000# backhoe, then the chains and D hooks would have to be able to withstand 12000# of stopping force. To compound the issue, if he only used one chain and looped it through something, then one chain breaks and there is nothing left. That's why I use two G70 3/8 chains attached to my back D rings to keep my tractors form doing what you described. No binder, I have chains the length I want, put them on tractor and pull tractor forward to tighten both of them at once.
Newton's laws of motion needs to be applied, something in motion tends to stay in motion. And stopping, Force = mass times acceleration.
I strap my tractors 8 ways, may not be legal according to TY cop standards, but never been stopped by the real cops. My method has been tested too when trailer went off road and almost tipped into friends lake. geo.

The window was dirty and I was driving into the evening sun. It was hard to see and it was my first pass down the field. I got the tractor so stuck that the underside of the tractor was resting on the ground. My uncle wanted
