I did. I did. I would have been moving it well away from the action.

Ye I had thought of that but it happened fast and I wanted to get myself back a bit more than the gu lol
We can only try to educate people but some will never learn until it is too late.............well done mate for trying.
And just leaving the bit of damaged strap on the beach rather than taking it to bin it later... did they do anything right at all???
Cheers for the clip, if I see either of those vehicles stuck up there I'll be sure to give them a wide berth.
Awesome GU there too :)
the worst part was missed by all, the towball is in the centre but where attached to the other it was off to the right, basically in line with the driver, if the ball snapped it would go through the drivers head
Hi Morton, actually i think it gets far worse than that! Obviously the risk to the life of the rear Driver is bloody obvious and it was alway going to go through his head but have a read of the Original Post again! WOW
Arrogant and Crazy
I think if this turned into a fatality, the investigation would blame, inexperience, snatch strap fatigue, anything but the towball. We need mandatory labelling on towbars or similar.
Nah the coroners are pretty good at finding the truth. Theres a few coroners reports for towball deaths been posted in this forum. The one from north west tas is like a horror story.
Also if the snatch strap isn't broken then strap fatigue can't be blamed
FanTapstic!
latest 4x4 Aust mag {june} has plate that slips over Towball. AKA shackle style and
warning on face book I think to avoid at all cost ,and rightly so.
Maybe old news but never enough warnings
Just watched that Vid, few things stand out first is they had no idea how to use recover equipment.
must have only brought 4x4 to tow camper etc and access some fishing spots.
would highly recommend both attend or join a club ,too many bad habits IMO
