Could be used in a recovery course in the "What not to do" part of the course.

Oh dear.........
The comments are good for a read

Standing too close, using the wrong equipment, attached to the rear bumper bar, owns a jeep. It all makes sense."

Even as a new member and new to 4x4 off road driving....
Standing between 2 vehicles that are towing can result this,
or even being hit by the vehicle that being towed.
It must be sheer stupidity to do that ?

Even the "professionals" could do with some training! Was the entire crew totally ignorant on recovery dangers?

There is also another TOP GEAR episode where Clarkson drives a Range Rover to the top of a mountain and near the top a recovery is done using a ground anker and you should see where the bloke who is directing the recovery is standing???
Also in Gold Rush Alaska in the 3rd season they do a recovery using the tow ball on a pick up to pull out a semi trailer....

Trouble is, being a car show presenter clearly doesn't make you a professional......... In the case of these guys and as much as I like the show, they are donkeys...... Just doin it for the ratings.
