Abstract: Disclosed is an improved tow rope handle for attaching to a tow line. A bridle has two ends and a central loop for attaching the bridle to the tow line. A forward handle portion has two opposing forward sides and extends rearwardly therefrom to terminate at a central rear side. Each forward side is adapted for fixing with one end of the bridle. A rearward handle portion is fixed at a central forward side thereof with the central rear side of the forward handle portion, preferably with a rotational bearing axially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the forward handle portion. The rearward handle portion further includes two opposing handle grips extending laterally away therefrom. Each handle grip may terminate at a cap that includes a forward projecting stop. As such, a virtual stabilizing triangle is formed between each cap and the central attachment loop, but without bridle ropes that can interfere with or injure the user during use.

Abstract: A method and system for repairing an insulation blanket having a metallized fabric that becomes disbanded from an underlying layer of the insulation blanket. The method includes cutting a first slit in the metallized fabric near a disbanded portion of the fabric, inserting a repair material through the first slit such that the repair material is between the disbanded portion of the fabric and the underlying layer, and adhering the disbonded fabric and the underlying layer to the repair material to restore the functionality of the metallized fabric.
