This is very much like the Chinese whip chain. That weapon comes in various lengths or the number or links, like a 7 or 9 link chain whip.
I first saw this when I went for a t'ai chi class with Ernest Rothrock and he was practicing one of his Steel Whip forms before my class. At one section of the form he began a 360 turn when his chain wrapped itself around his neck as he began the spin. Then on the completion of the spin the chain unwrapped itself and spun off on a different direction. However the next time he ran the form I believe his timing must have been a bit off. For when he wrapped the chain around his neck.then when he completed the form as the chain spun off it took a section of the skin on his neck with it. It was superficial but painful at the same time.
So the thing to remember is that the chain whip also has a bite.
