Very ugly,
I bet that happens quite often with those guys. I mean its an organized event and they had no idea what they were doing.

Re: 1-2-3 You're DEAD
I see one comment about it not being the strap that snapped but instead the recovery point. Snatching at that angle though is dodge

Re: 1-2-3 You're DEAD
I went on a "Family Day" that was hosted by a 4x4 shop that won't be mentioned back in 2010.
These bunch of tonsils had a tug of war with vehicles.
They were out to win a Darwin award, because they didn't have a strap long enough, so they joined 2 straps with an unrated D-shackle (and a small one to crown the lot).
I flat out refused to be involved in any way, much to their disgust.
I cleared the area because I knew what was coming and it wasn't even 30 seconds later the shackle broke under load and a piece narrowly missed someone's wife and continued through the Land Cruiser behind her.
Idiots...they walk among us !

Re: 1-2-3 You're DEAD
Yip... Its like the "hi ho, hi ho, its off to work I go" Isuzu advert on TV. You see them trying to pull a tractor out by throwing a tow strap over the tow ball...... At least its a tow strap and not a kinetic strap, but still... They should know better than to advertise something that can be extremely dangerous !!

Re: 1-2-3 You're DEAD
Hi Dustin
At that 4x4 event you say you refused to be involved. Did you try explaining the dangers to them and they didn't care to listen?
