Could be used in a recovery course in the "What not to do" part of the course.

Standing too close, using the wrong equipment, attached to the rear bumper bar, owns a jeep. It all makes sense."

Even as a new member and new to 4x4 off road driving....
Standing between 2 vehicles that are towing can result this,
or even being hit by the vehicle that being towed.
It must be sheer stupidity to do that ?

WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do, kill people and damage property.
There is also another TOP GEAR episode where Clarkson drives a Range Rover to the top of a mountain and near the top a recovery is done using a ground anker and you should see where the bloke who is directing the recovery is standing???
Also in Gold Rush Alaska in the 3rd season they do a recovery using the tow ball on a pick up to pull out a semi trailer....
Trouble is, being a car show presenter clearly doesn't make you a professional......... In the case of these guys and as much as I like the show, they are donkeys...... Just doin it for the ratings.
Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....
Idjyits the lot of em.
It's all fun and games until someone loses and eye, or a life.
Hey Clunk, and pardon for being an idjyit, but what's all this TAP it about?
