As for danger, we have enough open fields around our airport that I'm
confident of a safe outcome of basically any tow emergency.

Likewise, on my home field, which also has a lot of open, flat fields
round it.

I'm happy about winch launch failures at home - the winch is always on
the end of a wide enough run so landing ahead from a low failure is
never a problem. I've never flown at a site with the winch placed off in
the boonies but I do wonder if that sort of layout can make low breaks
somewhat problematic. I'd be interested to hear peoples experiences of
launch failures with this winch placement.
