    Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
    Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
    For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
    'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
    Such is the rule of honour.

    That is insane, lucky there wasn't more ppl hurt with so many around. At least it would have been instant death and they didn't have to suffer.

    Thats messed up.
    In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

    we all say how silly it is, and it is! but has anyone been to a winch comp here? you can get that close to the cars while winching, At the last one I was at we were stood at the tree that they used to winch off. When I told my wife to move well away and get behind others so they copped it first people just laughed and stood right next to that tree! And yes I have seen winch ropes snap on a couple of occasions.
