Wow, looks like the hook has had a hard life too...
I have said it before and say again in capitals: NO MATTER WHAT RECOVERY POINT YOU HAVE, REMEMBER TO CHECK IT AS SOON AS YOU GET HOME AFTER USING IT!!! Look for loose bolts, worn parts, twisted/bent parts.
This hook above has not been checked before its use. Take a look at the elongated hole, and the amount of rust would easily hide a Fatige crack. I believe this hook took a lot of abuse before breaking. ANY Recovery Point WILL eventually FAIL after much abuse and lack of observation.

Hey Benno.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am new to 4wding. So I have been using the a rear recovery point that slots into the tow bar as in the pic to get towed out backwards. what do I hook up too at the front of my car that can be used as a recovery point? seeing as I shouldn't be using the front tow point
