I'll own up, I wasn't aware of the danger till I joined the forum. Never been involved in a recovery before so never really thought about.
Cheers

I know your idiot comment is not personal. He has a lot of recovery experience in one of these. It was just a question over coffee.
Yeah i'd only callhim an idiot if i had 1 of these pointed at him hahahahhahahaha
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK
WARNING: TOWBALLS USED WITH SNATCHSTRAPS DO KILL!!
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
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
We joined the biggest 4WD club in Australia.........about 100,000 members.
His mate know's not to recover from the towball the question in the first post is WHY cant you when its rated to tow
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time

Never argue with an idiot cos from a distance no one can tell the difference.
Not implying anything here but someone's response was a little bit much. Take your time and read the original post.

Good on'ya Threedogs, I am in 100% agreement, you would have to be a deadset idiot to recover from the towball, even if you where unaware of the "cannonball" effect if it failed. I am pretty fresh into the 4wd world, and as a deadset green fella when I started 12 months ago, I was pretty aware that it wasn't too secure when I just popped the snatch over the ball... what it it fell off? what if the strap popped over the ball, what if...
Don't be an Idiot... don't recover from a towball...
33's, 2' lift, Snorkel, Warn XD95000 Winch (Just exploded... July 2014), UHF, 6 Point Cage, and no clue on how to use any of it... I drove over a gutter once!!! and it wasn't the rounded variety either!!!
What, a chipmunk??
