    Don't be an Idiot... don't recover from a towball...
    Well considering I let a mate hook a snatch over my towball for a recovery back in the days when I was new to the 4x4 scene I guess I'm just a dead set idiot. Still have the dent in my back door from when the snatch broke and went smashing into my door. Yep.......... could of been worse and I am very lucky it wasn't, did I learn from the mistake made yes, will I let let it happen again.....No F!ckin way

    Well personally I don't think anyone is an idiot for recovering from the tow ball when not educated, hence the push with "WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property." slogan

    Dead set idiots are those that know the danger yet still do it
