ahhh i seen this video.

was going to ask if i could post this and btw.

the video does contain a dead body. so NSFW/NSFL

[Rocket55]

That's seriously bad :(

[Hodge]

Saw this. The angle they were recovering in was never gonna work and the 2 blokes paid for it. Look at the head damage. Warning, not for the queezy.

[lucus30]

I think it was actually the tow ball wasn't it?

[MudRunnerTD]

No it was a shackle in a recovery point of some description. I have slowed the video down to frame by frame and it looks like the recovery point completely let go. Those guys copped a shackle and recovery point in the head.

Be careful people.

[BigRAWesty]

Geeze. That's insane. But does demonstrate the importance of the safety when recovering..

[Clunk]

Man that's just plain nasty

[growler2058]

Instant death!!!

[gunzmcghie]

That is insane, lucky there wasn't more ppl hurt with so many around. At least it would have been instant death and they didn't have to suffer.

[rusty_nail]

Yeah crazy stuff hey.

[MEGOMONSTER]

And these guys weren't that close to the action.

[sooty_10]

Wowser, sucks to be them. Nothing about that looked safe. The guy running out to give the strap a flick just as the 4by takes off.

[Family4x4]

Thats messed up.

[Alitis007]

Wow...... All i can really say is they where doomed from the start...... GQ recovering a landcrab

[threedogs]

a grim reminder of what can happen, so sad

[89gqpatrol4x4]

we all say how silly it is, and it is! but has anyone been to a winch comp here? you can get that close to the cars while winching, At the last one I was at we were stood at the tree that they used to winch off. When I told my wife to move well away and get behind others so they copped it first people just laughed and stood right next to that tree! And yes I have seen winch ropes snap on a couple of occasions.

[tikashooter]

Nasty stuff, goes to show just watching events that close is dangerous.

Mate, this needs to stay on here, its a gory but a reality check (particularly for us novices that might be tempted to do something silly). I am learning so much stuff from this forum. I have previously used my tow knob for all sorts of stuff, but never again. Now I know why they refer to them as knobs!

You know, i was wondering what all this fuss about towball, snatch strap, etc . . . Until i saw the video. A big thank you. You just save my life, my family, my friends and innocent people for sharing this.
