Message: <blockquote data-quote="bfr" data-source="post: 20239" data-attributes="member: 409">And just to clarify and reiterate...The Smittybilt CC330 is a recovery strap...not a "snatch" or "kinetic" rope.  It is designed more for towing...NOT designed for jerking a stuck vehicle free.It really makes all the difference to have the rebound engineered into the rope or strap when jerking a vehicle free.  Takes the load off from the tow vehicle significantly.  Much too dangerous to have straps breaking with heavy metal shackles potentially flying through the air.  How not to do it:<a href="http://www.northlandsnewscenter.com/news/local/19239434.html" target="_blank">http://www.northlandsnewscenter.com/news/local/19239434.html</a><a href="http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/broken-tow-rope-like-slingshot-killing-boy-in-back-seat-20101214-18wa0.html" target="_blank">Tow Rope That Killed Teenager Addison Yates Went 'Like Slingshot'</a>[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEtuO-Mh9Lg&feature=related]YouTube - Recovery rope snapped dangerous[/ame][ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ4hN1xFH2g]YouTube - Uncle Freds army truck breaks a tow rope and sends the tow hook through his tail gate[/ame][ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyYA2ziltkk]YouTube - tow rope break[/ame][ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1NnL83UpuQ&feature=related]YouTube - GK almost gets head taken off[/ame][ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMwr7N9xNc4&feature=related]YouTube - winch cable snapping and hits me in face[/ame]Sorry for the overdramatic...but just want everyone to stay safe.</blockquote>
