It is a Sad Day. 15 year old girl dies when struck by a snapped snatch strap.

Stand clear and clear the safety zone.

Hi mate, thanks for your input.

Have a look at this thread also as the first section provides some good references for your average 4wdriver relating to some of the math you have applied above.

Kinda what i said above but with Bigger words and More brain cells.... ^^^^What He Said ^^^^

his is an interesting setup that is for sure. Cringe worthy certainly. That is the second one of his i have watched and he used the same recovery tongue. the fact that it has a tow ball involved is...

Really!!!

A shackle failure is pretty rare! Operator error I reckon! I have seen a shackle fail only once and that was when it was set but they put the pin through and did not do it up...

They didn't say but my money is in a Towball failure.

Absolutely, spread the word. Send the message Global.

Yeah my GQ was well held on and I incorporated those points into my rear bar when I made it.

I was shocked though when we pulled Healy's hook off to find it was held on by very little and the...

Thanks Scotty,

I Note that they specifically state towing from Sand, Mud and Snow which i would consider for Snatch type recoveries so all is good. The reason they say not to undertake general...

Cheers mate,

Ys that is a pic of a Factory Nissan Recovery point. I use this on the front of my GUIV without hesitation. I have read stories though of them straightening out but am yet to see a...

No mate not at all. That is a factory tie down point only and is designed to be used during shipping from Japan and if your car ever needs to go on a flat bead (touch wood)

Under No Circumstances...

Yes certainly. for that matter you could remove the hitch too and just stick your snatch strap into the receiver and place the pin through the loop of the snatch.

I agree. Except you will probably find most Wagons are closer to 3ton than 2ton. Mine goes on the bridge at a pretty flat 3ton. I was in way too much mud at the time and my winch was dead.

Looks good mate. I have kinda lost a little faith in the hooks since my last trip out.

And that right there is why we bother. Not only have you provided a great service there but you have educated a group of novice 4wders that hopefully will remember the lesson for ever. Not only that,...

There is a reason why there is big RED writing in my Sig line. There are many responsible members here trying to educate the masses.
