I can't speak for him. But anytime you use a ****** strap or a tow strap you should put something in the middle. It's there to dampen the recoil in case the strap or hook breaks. Damage or death occur from the energy of the recoil. There should be no metal buckles underneath the towel.

No metal just a tow strap, piece of chain around the stump, and I don't use speed to pull. I put tension on the strap and dig and cut roots with and axe. You can hear the stump start to let go. Then just use the trucks weight to pull slowly. 4x4 low. I don't back up and "******" stumps. That's just me though. The towel is just immediate downforce if the strap would break.
