hard hats are an insurance thing

no cash is required, they have kevlar hulls, wouldn't damage the boat in the slightest.

wow the guy pulling it in must be strong LOL ;)
this should be all financed by the state not reliant of private charity

That's what I understood - couldn't really understand the earlier comment.

I was worried in case the rope parted, which would take out a few people standing too close. Would a chain be better?

Probably not - it would just take out more! The wire is tested and checked regularly, so it's as safe as it can be - but nothing can prevent accidents happening at times . . .

What a bizarre method of boat recovery! I dont think I have ever seen a boat hit the beach at that speed! Just shows the amount of cash at the RNLIS disposal. I am confused tho, if thats how they recover the boat, how do they launch it? They cannot possibly just do the same in reverse? Hardy a fast launch!!

Sounds like somone unaware of the problems (or the solutions, which the RNLI has worked out for a century). Beach launches mean that lifeboats can be kept at potentially dangerous places - specifically where there are few harbours of refuge.
Launching is the reverse process - check linked vids for examples.

Speed? Rushing is no answer - when a lifeboat may have to sail fifty or more miles, launching from a nearby location, an extra 5 or 10 minutes isn't a real issue - travelling 20 or 30 miles further, costing a couple of hours in time, from a safe all-weather mooring would be a problem however.
What has this got to do with cash? It's about saving lives . .
