Did I do the right thing? What would of you done?

I am sorry Yendor, I can't agree with you. Whatever the cause is attempting unsafe recovery is not acceptable at all means.
You cannot risk anyone's life for material recovery.
I would have ask them to contact professional recovery services and it would have learnt them a lesson as well without risk.

Sorry again

I reckon you did the right thing. It's human nature to help those in need (well for most anyway) and I'm a firm believer of what comes around goes around, were all going to need a hand a some point in time.

When you say in an unsafe manner I'm sure that it was undertaken as safe as possible given the circumstances which you were presented with which sounded less than ideal for a number of reasons. The fact you mentioned it means that thought was put into the situation and steps taken to alleviate risk as much as possible by the sounds of it to me, without getting too much into the nitty gritty of it all.

Thanks Rossco,
All recovery involved some degree of risk, but regardless of the recovery method, no method should be taken which would put a life in risk.
We all help each other (human nature), but not at the cost of another life.

I may have misunderstood the actual situation of the recovery, but these are my thoughts assuming that recovery had a chance of putting someone's life at risk.

That's cool. Thats why I'm asking. At what point do you pull out of a recovery?.

I felt I was commit as soon as I loaned them the axe.

To me the recovery risks increased when I needed to winch them out but there was no "rated" rear recovery point.

I did make sure as much as possible that no one's life was at risk but to be honest can anyone 100% guarantee this during a vehicle recovery?
