    The more I read this thread the more amazed I am at the stupidity of people. Watching the videos doesn't show that people don't know the correct procedures for recovery, they just don't give enough of a damn to go the extra 30 seconds to make it a lot safer.

    It's a hell of sad way to cull the worlds population of morons.

    Where can one get these stickers that were mentioned earlier?

    Yes there was also a case where 2 snatch straps were joined by a "D" shackel and when 1 strap broke the "D" went through the back window and killed ther son. Just shows how things can go very wrong very quickly
    As a rule i only join 2 straps if realy needed and by the eyes with news paper to prevent them getting stuck and use a dampner on all straps used

    Ok just whipped up a few samples for you guys to check out.
    They are just a rough sketch, feel free to offer your opinions, ideas and suggestions.
    They can be any colour combo or any size.
    I reckon i can do the single colour ones for $8 and the two colour ones for $10. Cheaper for multiples etc. Probably $2 postage.
    Ill have a better idea once we pick a design.
    If we all settle on a single design i will be able to do a bigger run of them and do them cheaper.
