Just saw this on Facebook and need to share it here. Note I don't agree that it must have been a rusty Towball. A Brand New Towball will hurt just as much when it takes your head off!!
Anyone who thinks this is a myth is a Dickhead!

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.

Obviously the message isn't getting out there. She is so very lucky not to be in a casket.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

I thought these guys used the towball, but on closer inspection you can see they have wrapped the snatch strap to pull on the tongue. ( at the 3;50 mark.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rts6Jk-VwzU

If you use a towball now knowing that for any purpose other than towing you're trying to win a Darwin Award .

I've learnt through experience that there may not be a thing called 'common sense' any more.
People either know it, or they don't.
The workplace is a great example........"I wasn't trained it in it, therefore I'm not responsible".
It is up to people like us to spread the word and educate people, that it's NOT SAFE to simply hook up a rope to a tow ball and fang it!
