    it was interesting to see how close the onlookers and winchy were to the winch rope.
    it's said that the plasma rope just drops when it breaks, but i still wouldn't trust it that much,
    anyone here with experience of plasma breaking?
    what did it do?

    how hard would it be to clean all that mud out in the first vid..

    Ive never seen it in person, but I believe that it does have a little energy and snap with some movement....that being said would you rather me throw some rope or some steel wire at you....

    Let's just say it was pure environmental vandalism for him to be ploughing up that much dirt for no real reason other than having some fun and it's morons like him and those who filmed his criminal activity that will get 4wd banned by the greenies

    Plasma drops to the ground and has no real recoil when breaking.
    I have witnessed it's failure twice, both times were due to excessive contact with a pointy rock, I have never whitnessed plasma breakin under load alone (I am sure it would be possible of course).

    As for cleaning all that mud
    I rule!!!
