Edit : just confirmed, will upload the images too Dumb arses, snatched with a chain, it is a snatch and not just a plain drag, attached the chain to the towball AND had two guys right next to them watching on. Well atleast they were were a safety vest.
This was posted on the 4x4earth forum as well as a link to complain to Holden about it. A company as large as Holden should be paying their OH&S guys enough money to research the correct way of doing things. I started 4wding recently, and have had to do a few recoveries from limited experience, and even I'm not dumb enough to yank a truck from a tow ball. Guess if you drive a "tough truck" like a Colorado, all you need to recover vehicles is a hard hat and some yobo running commentary about how much torque is being used...
