If the chain is wrapped around someting horizontal, like an axle, for instance, with the chain going over the top of the axle, wrapping around the axle and hooked to itself, if the hook breaks the chain will unwrap itself from the axle and fly up in the air. It will not just fall harmlessly to the ground. If the chain is horizontal to the ground when it is being pulled, and it breaks in the middle, then it will usually just slide harmlessly underneath the towing vehicle. BTDT many times pulling out stuck combines.
Last fall we had a chain embed itself in a truck grille because the young bucks hooked the rope to the tractor with a 5/16 chain and the tractor drawbar was lower than the truck. Two sins were commited there.Jim
