These Mannequins Died to Show You How Dangerous Tow Balls Can Be

A snatch strap is one of the most useful tools in an off-roader’s arsenal. It’s much lighter and cheaper than a winch, but can be just as effective when pulling somebody out of a bog. Unfortunately, people like to use them with tow balls. This video will show you why that’s a terrible idea.

Yup. A group of us guys when we were early 20 ish nearly killed one of us when a hook broke. Just the eyelet slingshot forward and hit roll bar directly behind drivers head. the bar was made from sch 80 pipe. Just the eyelet dented the pipe about 1/2 inch deep. It would have killed the guy for sure. Ya never forget lessons like that.
