    I was really hoping the beach patrol got bogged when the water washed under the vehicle.

    Just for everyone's information..

    Direct quote from someone who was there:

    "strap was attached to steel rated recovery point bolted to chassis, alloy bar bolted to said bracket, recovery point was ripped from chassis and took bullbar with it, sheered 2 bolts and tore bit chassis out, very lucky no one was in way"

    Lucky that no-one was hurt or killed? bloody oath they were!!
    Unlucky that it happened.

    For clarification, I wasn't there, but the guy driving the white GQ is a mate of mine who lives not far from me!

    I read that also - more like BS to me - an excuse to deflect the comments on the vid. If it as was listed - what were the bolts made of - when it all separated why did it take the bullbar with it - I suspect the so called rated points were on the bullbar that is the only way the bullbar would have gone flying as it did.

    What a Pack of idiots, I call BS about them not recovering from the bar, no way it would have come of like that if It was attached as they say and were was the equalizer strap?, also, why on earth did the lead-footed moron take off so quick?

    Ditto, the Patrol driver was at fault here. That last effort wasn't a snatch, it was just recklesness! There comes a point where you have to winch, and that point was way before the effort of that last tug.

    Trawling through some gecki sites a few months ago, someone did the maths.
    A towball with 1.8 tonnes of pressure on an 8 tonne snatch strap will travel at 430kph! And 1.8 tonnes is not a heavy snatch!

    Just last September we refused to pull out a hilux as he insisted on using the ball for the recovery - ignorance is not so bliss afterall.

    I couldn't see what the tossers were laughing about, the driver is a clown.
    Hope his insurance company see's how he acts. I was waiting in anticipation for him to get booged at the waters edge, but he managed to get out ok.
