That tow bar took more punishment than i thought it would
"watch for tow ball coming through back winda"

OK..seriously, this has got to be a joke! deanzook are you sure theres only 3? lol. Snatching off a towball x2, people standing in the whip area x(lost count), suprised none of them got caught when things started snapping, using what looks to be like one of them stretchy towropes you used to get at the warehouse for $9.99, and are they even using snatch straps the last time..im going to guess probably not as they didnt like the shock loading, or they were already buggered

Dont forget no winch blanket on steel cable when winching and joining two strops with a steel shackel

[3VILC]

yes im suprised noone ended up with a serious injury or a missing head when that cable let go, esp the clown holding the booster battery, not to mention if he got knocked over when the truck jumped forward and ended up with face full of battery acid. Some people really do have no clue. The first thing i brought when i got my 1st truck was a boot full of proper recovery gear and read up how to use it. Hey chops you do have to give them some credit, at least it looked like a proper rated shackle, wouldnt have put it past them to used the safety chain shackle off thier towbars lol

Yea i was meaning the stuff that actually broke lol.

The bit that worried me was them not being slowed down by breaking ropes etc, just more of an oh well give it another go type of attitude. At what point do you stop and go hmm maybe theres a better way?

There was some pretty dumb $hit in the vid, but the towballs arent like the towballs you see in NZ. They are one piece cast/machined style and used commonly for recovery in UK. They are usually fixed with 2 x M16 (for memory) bolts so more than upto the loading

WTF!! need chooks under them wheels boys
