OK, so there are accidents out there following premature
release of (aero)tow but one might expect the pilot to fly the
plane neatly to the accident site, not to spin-in?
There are plenty of European/UK airfields where a low rope
break or a premature release will result in an accident
(vineyards, rocky river beds, orchards etc), it's risk one
accepts.
Maybe pedantic but "premature aerotow release" and
"spinning-in" are two different accidents, no?
