I guess they don't teach common sense nowadays.
I don't think this is a lack of common sense as much as it is ignorance of towing and physics.
I remember a group of people in Florida who were swinging themselves off bridges with a steel cable. One of their jumps resulted in a broken cable, one death and several injuries. Turns out they didn't understand physics. They made sure the cable would support their weight, but didn't understand how their weight was multiplied through the swing of the cable.
