    Bloke three doors down from me got skid bogged on his front lawn and asked the idiots next door to me to tow him off the lawn ,Husky tied a rope to both cars and had the rope coiled on the ground .
    Idiot next door thought he heard go and floored it with husky standing one leg inside the coil , foot was hanging on by a small patch of skin but near enough to severed went through bone easy as , poor bugger spent 6 months in hospital and two years in physio.

    Haha yeah put him up front nobody would smoke. From personal perspective never influenced by dont smoke labels, came from myself after time and after multiple attempts to wean. Still on nico vape so not really weaned either. Anyway same would go for labels telling me how to snatch safely. Wouldnt sink in. It's a learned skill which i havent got not ever having done one but understand the risks and consequences of failure hence the never doing one aspect!

    What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
    WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

    A very sad outcome. In this situation it would have been better to have used a hemp rope. If it was a snatch um, imagine the velocity that it would have been travelling back after being wound up.

    Guns don't kill people... people do

    Snatch straps don't kill people... morons do
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Your comment does still apply. I noted in this cases they said that the tow/hitch point failed.

    Originally posted early (at reading of first page), then saw the last 2).

    Reminds me early 80's fishing at a dam that I still frequent. This day a bloke walks up to me at the water's edge and says can ya help out, "I can't get up the hill (too wet and slippery) in my HQ Holden wagon". Anyway had a mid 70's swb cruiser 4 cyl diesel long stroke thump-er, I had put in it (petrol originally). Got SWB and my trusty steel cable, hooked on with chain and up we went. Got up the top and I say to him "gee you must have some gear in the back"? He replies no not really and then I noticed and he said "had the Hand Brake on all the way up"....
