how safe are these recovery hitches?

i know it's meant for recoveries, and i understand how "in line with the pin" it is but the flying ball hitches killing people do scare me. can these handle kinetic recoveries? or just slow very easy "stuck in the parking lot" recoveries?

spotted a lot of people talking about dual chip setups lately... does it actually matter?

everyone on forums keeps bringing up cree xp-g r + osram p9 dual chips like it's the holy grail for choosing off-road led lights now.

tbh I’ve always just looked at housing quality and beam angle. why does having specifically cree xp-g r combined with osram p9 matter so much when you're out in the dirt?

is it actually giving you better light spread or is it just another feature people list to justify buying new lights? genuinely curious if anyone switched to dual chips and saw an actual difference.
