YouTube - VERY professional kinetic rope ****** recovery

YouTube - Recovery rope snapped dangerous

 

and some people dont understand why i go overboard.

 

The guys in the 1st vid should be using a ****** block on the winch & have a weight on the winch line for safety. When a line breaks it could go anywhere & I can't believe anyone would be stupid enought to put a clevis in the middle of a tow strap.
That guy in the 2nd vid. standing there was lucky he didn't get hit.

 

Adrian, have you been wheelin' again?

 

^lolol I thought the same thing. The guy with the shackle

 

I was hoping for casualties.

 

It's amazing how stupid people are these days...

 

In the first vid- is there any safety or recovery rules they DIDN'T break?

Shackle linking two ****** straps.

Winching with people within danger zone.

Using a tow ball to recover with ****** straps.

no blanket or absorber on the winch rope or ****** straps.

No digging beforehand.

Using too light of gear for the pull.


They are very lucky, to say the least.

 

you forgot one...

"having Euro-fail-mobiles."

 

Oh don't worry. They'll remove themselves from the gene pool sooner or later.

 

i always use this line at work,

"i can't fix stupid"

 

I love that both the videos involve Land Rovers. Maybe that means something...

I prefer the line
"people are stupid"

 

Those guys could use a lift or two.. maybe a set of M/Ts.. and perhaps some classes on how to go wheelin. ha ha they could also use a full size to follow them around and rescue their keisters with a little more ease. I've seen some pretty sketchy recoveries, but they weren't as bad as those. Just displays their inexperience. Good entertainment though
