Recover Accident

Sad news. Sounds like they used a Clevis between two straps and had a
strap break.

Re: Recover Accident
 

I I think I may have wheeled with him at a Sno Blind run a few years ago.
This was the second time this kind of thing happened in Michigan in the last
couple of years. Very sad.

Re: Recover Accident
 

Nice one Bill,,,, Darwin Award recipient to that guy for taking a running
start.

I don't wish ill will upon (most) anyone, but the brain needs to be engaged
before doing some activities. Everything I know about using a tow strap
tells me NEVER ever try to snap/ jerk someone in a recovery situation.

That video clip should be required viewing for all newbies.

Re: Recover Accident
 

If you use 'snatch' straps with an elastic factor and looped ends it is
designed for taking a run at it.

If you use a 'tow' strap or chain, it is designed for a straight power
pull or a tow.

They are different animals and aren't interchangeable.

That and ALWAYS put a blanket over the tow strap.

Amazing that that one simple thing will keep almost all
the problems below the hood line.
