...a 180 return to the runway from a 200 foot airtow rope break
is not always possible.

...you may need as much as 1000 feet to be in a position for
a safe return to the airfield.

...two low altitude rope breaks (weak link failures) and...resulted
in...off-airfield landing[s].


More specifics please for those off-airport landings. Otherwise your "1000
feet" may be taken by some as a bit of an exageration.
