I have had a timber hitch roll out one time. That's why I prefer the cow hitch now. And I can tie a cow hitch faster than a timber. I have no problem using a timber hitch when negative blocking and the block is being loaded in a vertical fashion. If I have to run a snatch block on the ground where the block is going to be pulled out an outward angle rather than downward I always use a cow hitch. That is what happened when my timber hitch rolled out. Thank god it did not happen on anything critical.
