That last one in Tassie is a horror story. R.I.P. Josh.
When you drive down the west coast, you have go past where it happened. There was a little shrine with his photo on it for a while. Such a barren lonely place to leave this world......

Hello from Under Down Under!
The Tassie accident involved a failure of a weld in the component to which the tow ball is bolted, due to rust etc, not the tow ball.
This highlights the need to assess the whole recovery point, whatever it happens to be, for corrosion, cracks and other issues.
RIP - valued member and true gentleman of this forum that will be missed by many!
"As a boat owner and a four wheel drive owner I feel like a pelican: every where I look I see a big bill in front of me”
It was a home weld job. They had welded the towball tongue into the receiver allowing water to be trapped behind and therefore rust out and weaken the wall thickness. The towball, tongue and part of the receiver let go and went through the windscreen then Josh's head then landed NINETY METRES behind the 4wd....... Chilling stuff
