In case of a rope-break, you are either able to land straight-on on the airfield, or you have sufficient altitude(300 ft+) to fly a *safe* pattern. Or, at some places, when you are too high for a straight landing but too low for a complete circuit, you do a safe 180 and make a safe downwind landing. Yup. Standard procedure at my home airfield.
