    WOW!!!.....that is a wake up call....be checking the mounts on any random vehicle before assisting....poor bloke never had a chance...can't beleive how far the assembly flew after it went through the car, 90metres, whats a tow ball weigh, 8-12kg?? gives you an idea of how much tension is generated in the situation.

    the sad thing is that it wont be the last time. i know that there will be more close calls and maybe deaths as well from people just not thinking all it takes is some1 to have some common sense ( there seems to be a serious lack of that around these days )
    as if a tow ball looks like a good spot to secure something that is under so much strain.

    people really shock me with there stupidity seems a little harsh 2 say but come on we all have brains use them

    Harsh or not if it saves just one life then let it be said.

    well congrats to anyone who kicks the habit. At least 18 yrs ago i went from smoking a pack of Horizon 12mg 50 pack in 24hrs down to nothing, Cold Turkey. No progressive reductions , smoked my last packet normally and quit. Yeah I still have the odd craving when drinking with smokers but haven't been back except for a week where I pulled out the old pipe and statred having a puff of a night, but I couls see how east it was to get addicted agaain and put away never to come out again.
