Speaking from experience, crossing the chains can save your backside. I had a boat coupler fail and the crossed chains kept the boat tongue a few inches above the pavement. Had the tongue hit the pavement while chained to the truck who knows what would have happened. I suspect that it would have gouged into the blacktop and it may have flipped the boat. Instead I slowed down, pulled off the road, made repairs and continued on my trip.
