Why is it the defender drivers fault the truck was stationary?
The idiot it the Subaru was out of the bog and yet kept on going until he impacted with the defender instead of stopping, The defender incidentally didn't even get scratched yet the Subaru driver totalled his rear end[thumbsupbig]

Yeah, and why wasn't the Suby driver looking in his mirrors anyway?

Pretty sure that clip has been around for few years now.
The Defender stopped because it stalled after the snatch, which the Suby driver would not have been expecting.
Anyway entertainment for the spectator and keyboard viewers alike.

I wonder if a D5 would survive an impact like that without a scratch, I know for certain that my D2a without the steel rear bar on it wouldn't.

I had a Pajero hit the rear of my d2 when it was quite new. Plastic bar good...but quite new at time do not sun damaged. Paj leaking fluids. My spare tyre bracket was bent slightly... happy with steel bar now though. Cheers

Mine only failed to proceed once that I recall through the spade terminal on the IP solenoid being corroded.

It had some major, major 'issues' at times but otherwise never actually stopped.

I didn't realise they were that advanced to require internet protocol! [bigwhistle]

Well it could have been much worse. It could have inexplicably rolled onto its roof with instantaneous combustion.

Definitely Suby drivers fault.
Can be seen spinning wheels madly prior to the actual snatch, so almost certainly he's bogged himself even deeper than otherwise would have.
The Defer then lurches at the point where the Suby breaks free of the deeper bog he got himself into.
Maybe it stalled maybe not, but driver would have felt the increased strain at that point anyhow.
Suby probably still hard on the power, where he needed have been until it was too late .. too much speed .. bang!

Some folks should simply just stay home and not be a nuisance to others! [bighmmm]

You are lucky it wasn't a Puma[tonguewink]

Back on topic,

The vehicle reversing is normally always at fault
