Default How does an aerotow rope break in two places?

True story. A couple years ago I ran the wing for a glider that aerotowed into rotor. The rope broke. Both aircraft and both tost rings made it back to the airfield. The rope broke at both ends.

How is that even possible?

Rope flailed itself off after it broke.
