"Leash" is another attaching object. Not sure how long it is in relation to others.
I did the level where you have to move the cow so people could get home, so to get passed the butcher I made a crane between him and the cow, grabbed the cow, and drove backwards. As soon as the starite appeared, I crashed. >_>
I almost crashed again when bringing the patient in the gorge to the hospital in a helicopter. I hit the top of the level, flew sideways, and lagged for a good 5 seconds.
