Deaths from towballs

[Finly Owner]

Call me Biast, but I think my design spells out exactly what and why.

Snatch Strap + Towball = Death!

We can't just tell them not to use snatch strap and towballs.
In traffic at lights etc you have about 30 seconds for someone to notice your sticker, read it, and digest it.

The above is the old "KISS" rule, (keep it simple stupid).

I suggest 75mm high, Red, and a font similarto Newspaper Headlines. I also suggest set the same as I typed it, Death being in bold while the first bit in standard.


I will the buy at least five for myself, and ask my club to purchase 50.

Just because you are biased doesn't mean it ain't a good idea Tim :-)

Sounds like Taslucas can do a few designs if those wanting something different are prepared to pay a tiny bit more.

I wonder how it would look as a pictograph? The towball and the Death's head are easy - the strap might be tougher?

From my perspective, (I must have been hanging around those stylish GU owners too much) I want a sticker that fits somewhere fairly neatly on my wagon, without blocking too much rear vision. I'm aiming for the back step.

There's always spare wheel covers and other places to display the message too.

I have half a tailgate, So better thinkabout white for that.

Another note to add to this WARNING.

This weekend we were 4wding and had to snatch a Suzuki Feroza from a river crossing. there was a bit of a current and we were in a bit if a panic about them being washed away, the snatch strap was hooked over the Factory Tow hook on the front of the Zook. Thinking these tow hooks would be a safe place to snatch from I hooked the snatch onto there, being in a rush and expecting it to be an easy snatch of pulling a dead and light 4wd and a 10,000kg snatch the dampener bad was forgotten... this almost ended in my girlfriend being KILLED. If I hadn't shut the rear hatch it would have hit her for sure. The Factory Tow hook flew off the Zook smashing it into the rear door of a 100 series Cruiser with enough force to punch two holes and a big dent in both halves of the door.

So i think it's safe to add Factory tow hooks to the "DANGER list" And remember kids, ALWAYS use the dampener bag!!!

Maaate that was lucky, just got to use an air brake all the time.
Thanks for the graphic lesson.
A few seconds longer setting up can save so much hassle as you have shown here.
The Zook was still stuck while you gathered yourselves togeather again.
Getting hard to work out what is safe to attach to when you see this happening.
Bet the heart rate went up!!!!
