the kinetic rope snaps and goes thru the rear window of a 90, showering the guy with glass. Dangerous things, lucky no shackle was attached.

  • was he ok, saw him get showered with broken glass?

  • you are incorrect. the strap snapped, NOT the ball or anything fixed to either vehicle. Thats what really happened in this case.

  • that orange truck pulling , is that a 100inch hybrid v8 build by a fella named pux ? if so i was close to buying it

  • i think so, yes - the driver was a top guy from Bedford area.

  • With nearly every vid I've just watched with straps snapping, almost always is there some bozo standing waaaay too close (often with beer in hand) the both vehicles and the resulting flying straps/cable.

    If you don't need to be there to assist, get the hell out of the way for your own safety sake.

  • The little red rig sounds wicked.

  • I know someone died from a similar accident the hitch broke and crushed the driver skull.

  • @DENMONKEY seems to be a lot of these vids where a snatch strap is probably not the method they should be using in the first place

  • Do people here honestly believe that a kinetic energy strap is going to get that landy out of the mud? Ridiculous!

  • omg. this is the same thing that happened to me. except i have a yukon and the whole glass shattered everywhere.

  • if yall had any idea on what yall were doing, yall would have know that your not supposed to get a running start and hall ass with that type of recovery rope, your supposed to gett it to just about tight if not a little less, then get on it and hit the brakes as had as you can till the rope pulls him out...

  • He was fine ,he's thick skinned !!

  • My husband is the one that's stuck our son is the one checking the window......YOU SHOULD HAVE CHECKED YOUR DAD........thank you to blokes getting him out but I would have loved to have seen him dig his way out .

  • My husband is the one that's stuck and un hurt , did you notice the tall lad with a pair of rigga
