Should qualify this statement a bit
BMan1
Tow tethers are not inherently dangerous. I use mine all the time to help tow boats/equipment to shore in flat, moving water below rapids. It is dangerous and extremely not smart to try to tow a boat through anythng more than the smallest rapid.

Tow tethers are also extremely useful if you need to anchor yourself when setting safety in a location with sketchy footing.
