LOL
It's like hitting concrete from 30 feet up.
About 6 times the density of air, but a lot less friction than a solid substance.
Stopping things that big can be a problem at times though, once they get moving they tend to follow the laws of inertia, and just keep doing what they are doing.
and the weight of the rope would make it appear to be slack.Quote:

It's all about speed. In low range, idling in first, no probs. However my guess is that the rope to the Landie is photoshopped in. I once moved a small ship by hand, standing on a wharf I noticed slackness in the mooring rope so I pushed hard for 5 minutes and it moved out six inches until the rope tightened. No wind or current to oppose me.Quote:

It's just an ad boys, besides.
We ALL know it's possible, Defenders snatch out Land Cruisers all the time and they're just an extremely heavy lump of metal :angel:
