This is why every one should attend/join a club and do some proper Driver awareness and recovery course.
I have never looked at a towball and thought wow I'll get my mate out of that bog hole by looping the strap over
the ball. I joined a club. I also question so called experts when out bush on their practises too.Not putting his mate down don't know him
Nearly everyone here has a warning on their post there is page after page on the subject. yet still people ask is it ok. GMB
There are hard and fast rule when recovering a vehicle and towball is never mentioned. My club state this in the first line of introduction to 4x4ing
Think I'm harsh maybe . Tell me again when someone is injured
