WHOAH! That's effing crazy!
Would only have taken a very light snatch to send that one flying like a missile!

Patrol2.8 is talking about a hitch like this, I can't see that being safe.

I agree with this comment. You can reduce the risk a hell of a lot but its always a dangerous procedure. 5 minutes on the shovel will usually save having to snatch.

If it's heavy and can be draped over the strap then it is good.

The problem was that there were two Toyotas in the equation... something was bound to go wrong!!
In all seriousness though it is a bit of a worry. How did your bag tear? Did the shackle fail or was...

Numbers 4 and 6 are winners in my books.

And that was just the strap, imagine if the towball went with it.

Those are generally fine. The pin is extraordinary strong

Would like to know where he got those figures from. I know it happens but I didn't think it was that often!
