    What a pack of idiot's.. d-shackle's connecting up straps with no bags on 'em using the tow ball and lets get everyone we know to gather 'round and gawk one of the most stupid things ive ever seen and i've seen mates pulling out trees with chain and having the chain break and wreak almost every window and panel you learn how to do things properly when you know what can happen
    Someone's Gotta Break 'Em... So It Might As Well Be Me!!.

    Had to keep closing my eyes, scary. Just waiting to see what the next stupid thing they were going to do. I had a Disco for 6 years before I saw the light; we are not all that stupid.

    I'm pretty much a complete newbie, but I do remember being taught never to link straps together with a great big shackle. Love how everybody is staying well clear of the danger zone though. :-O

    Is that for real, how dumb can they be leaning against the front of the bullbar as the car is moving forward,and next to loaded cable.
    I could hear the banjo's playing in the background.

    If it wasn't so serious, it would be really funny. You can never underestimate how stupid people can be.
