FJuan Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 The way I view it, is the bumper contacts his shoulder first and then his head moves forward. Looking like he was hit in the head. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planelazy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 The way I see it is they're all morons; first, for flooring it with slack in the rope; then for the bystanders who are standing way too close to the vehicles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planelazy Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Learn something new every day. I've never seen anyone tow like that, but I guess if you do it right it could work. What's the working load limit for a yank strap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRSCobra Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Depends on the width of the strap. The 2" ones are good for 10-15k, with up to 6" sizes good for over 40k lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hits head? http://img.izismile.com/img/img6/20130118/1000/friday_gifdump_289_29.gif That guy is an idiot for not taking the slack out of that strap. Key words here are gently and slack.  There are a few ways to get a stuck vehicle out with a yank strap, you should try them in this order. Use the yank strap like the tow strap. Just hook it up and try to pull the stuck vehicle out at a steady speed.  Gently yank the stuck vehicle out. Hook the strap up to the two vehicles, take up the slack in the strap so it's barely touching the ground. Now slowly accelerate till the strap brings moving vehicle to a stop. When you stop lock up the brakes, the elasticity of the strap should pull the stuck vehicle out.  Full power, yank the stuck vehicle out. Hook up the vehicles and take up the slack in the strap. Gun the engine of the moving vehicle and pull with as much power as possible. Give it all you got but if your 37" MT's are tearing up the trail and you're just sliding from side to side stop, you're not making any progress without traction anyway. If this still won't get the other vehicle out you'll need to work at finding out why the other vehicle won't move and fix the problem. Either dig out the wheels a bit or get it off of whatever it's hung on. http://xterra101.com/extraction.htm Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 And if the towing vehicle isn't able to pull enough and the vehicles stuck isn't too big let it dig in a bit and lock the brakes. Then do a pull by hand at the strap at 90 degrees to the direction of the strap. Then the towing vehicle is an anchor instead. Of course you need to be a few persons to do that. That attempted tow in the gif was a disaster waiting to happen.
