Could be used in a recovery course in the "What not to do" part of the course.

"A picture is worth a thousand words" comes to mind.

Oh dear.........

The comments are good for a read

"TheBigGaloot 21 hours ago
Standing too close, using the wrong equipment, attached to the rear bumper bar, owns a jeep. It all makes sense."

Even as a new member and new to 4x4 off road driving....

Standing between 2 vehicles that are towing can result this,
or even being hit by the vehicle that being towed.

It must be sheer stupidity to do that ?

Even the "professionals" could do with some training! Was the entire crew totally ignorant on recovery dangers?

There is also another TOP GEAR episode where Clarkson drives a Range Rover to the top of a mountain and near the top a recovery is done using a ground anker and you should see where the bloke who is directing the recovery is standing???

Also in Gold Rush Alaska in the 3rd season they do a recovery using the tow ball on a pick up to pull out a semi trailer....
