Here are some of my concerns

at professional pulling events the really safe accredited ones have a kill
switch such that if truck/tractor comes loose from pulled object it kills
engine immediatly - also ever think about what will happen pices of drive
shaft when they turn loose.

Went on fire call where U-joint on cement mixer truck turned loose and went
through windshield of a car some 30 feet away and killed driver, not U-joint
on truck; joint on mixer body, much smaller than on truck.

 And makes no difference if spectators paid to see this happen - some one
gets hurt - media find it out, you will make papers, local, and if national
picks it up we will all suffer, of course lawyers will have a fine time
picking the promoters, participants of this event apart.
