    Re: recovery points

    wazza,

    Tow balls have been known to shear as they are not designed for the loading imparted by a snatch strap.
    There are recovery points available that fit into a reciever hitch as the towbar itself should be secure enough.

    Have a look back at the first page.

      Re: recovery points

      This probably should be highlighted in this topic and is a timely reminder of how dangerous recoveries can be.

      Apparently a failed factory tie down point could have been one of the failed links in the chain of events that led to the death.

      Is it worth the risk?
