Maybe I am just showing the non-offroad white collar side of my 4x4 experience but does it do any damage to yank that hard on that jeep to get it out? I got a 2wd stuck one time on accident when I was camoing (rained overnight and turned everything into mud) and the guys that pulled me out didn't yank like that.

A "SNAP" pull or a "yank" does put a lot more stress on your vehicle. You do risk break your tow straps as well. (just comes with the whole "off road" territory)
As long as you know what your doing, and have GOOD recovery point and KNOW how to tie/hook up to them then you'll be fine. Also make sure you have a strap with the correct tow ratings.
Always try slow, steady pulls at first, but in this case, the Jeep was stuck like chuck and the yank were necessary to get the jeep up and out. Sometimes the extra force in the snap will be enough to start the momentum, then you just pull it out.
*** N E V E R do this with chains OR tow straps with metal hooks ! Only do this with a standard tow strap.
