I was young enough that it was a big stretch to hang on until the very top of the hill and my hair got twisted in the rope. It pulled a quarter size chunk out of my scalp. Ouch!

Standards now require the ribbon to turn around once or less in the distance of the rope. That way, when it’s released, it doesn’t spin and grab loose clothing, scarves, hair, etc. Modern tows have a bull wheel angle adjustment for this.
