    Interesting discussion of a number of recovery related topics, including how much force is actually required / generated in real life recover situations (hint - LOTS!)

    Wouldn't this issue go away if you reversed the shackle ie had the bow end in the eye bolt and the shackle pin in the equaliser loop? I suppose you would still have to rotate the eye bolt 90 degrees so it wouldn't bend, but it would be a better setup. I think?

    Tank is right. You wouldn't want to be anywhere near a peace of gear when it fails under heavy load. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I know a few people who can give first hand accounts of what that feels like,(The ones who lived that is). It doesn't matter what direction the force is in. The result is the same.
    Cheers, Billy.
    Keeping it simple is complicated.
