Drape it over a winch line under tension. If the line lets go, the weight kills the whip instead of letting a steel cable scythe through the air at head height.

Use it every single time
A winch dampener is the cheapest piece of safety equipment in a recovery kit and the one most often left in the bag. A snapped winch line under load has killed people. Hang the dampener at the midpoint of the line before you start pulling.
When it's not doing that, it unrolls into a work mat — useful when you're on your back in the mud rigging a recovery.
