I think factory or aftermarket hooks are more dangerous compared to a tow bar rigid mounted on rear of the chassis.Seen lots of cars with hooks welded on the front bumper.That font bumper lots of people made and install just for look,not thinking about rigid connection between bumper and chassis.

As a newbie with a 4wd, this may be one of the most important things I will ever learn NOT to do.

It is easy to forget about safety because either we are lazy or for the split second we say hey it wont happen to us safety is no laughing mater or a joke as i do i always preach safety before i do something with my Patrol or my boat safety first fun later & always inspect your recovery gear after every use.
another in the news, dont think he died but it snapped
Entirely preventable, its so simple.
It wasn't a towball but it was bad practice from someone
who should have known better.
I wonder if charges could be made if found the person hooking up the straps
was underqualified, His parents must be asking a heap of questions.
IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN AUST, BUT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ENOUGH IS BEING DONE
every 4X4 should have this stickers,,,,, is it one of Lucas"s
AND NEVER JOIN 2 STRAPS WITH A SHACKLE
Do we know the kids name in the Patrol?
