    dodgy recoveries

    You all will be pulling your hair out with frustration watching this one.

    43 sec: tow ball
    51 sec: snatching off winch cable
    2:33min: winch extension around a tree..
    3:49min: again off a winch cable
    And I nearly wet myself at the 5 min mark

    I'm with NP99 so many things wrong in the vid, and all there for everyone to watch and laugh.
    These types of videos should be collected and shown at Clubs and safety training days.
    Chances are the The Medical examiner will find them beneficial at the autopsy, Sorry I don't find it
    remotely funny

    Just....an...opinion!!!

    If I had a choice...lol

    I would rather the toe ball flying at my head then a possible 5 to 20m cable snaking through the air at my entire body.

    Mathematically the odds are better. Can't believe I am thinking of the better option!!!

    Toe ball is a certain death if struck in your head or body but the slingshot of a cable has greater odds of hitting you and will rip you apart.
