How do I explain this to insurance?

This is definitely how not to recover an Xtrail.
Wire cable onto the tie down was never going to end well.
But I didn't expect this.
watch the first bit to get the idea then go forward to about 3min 30 and watch the next try :-)

LOL - the stance from both of them at 4:23 says it all. "How the hell do I explain this to the missus?"

Well since the tailgate is now open, they could use one of the coat hooks above the back doors. If they had an equaliser then they could use both hooks if they thought 1 isn't strong enough.

"How do I explain This..."

Say:
My friend was in his pretend 4wd and we used a pretend recovery device to recover my pretend 4wd. The pretend load rates and pretend recovery points were all to pretend standard. Please send me a pretend cheque as I do not accept monopoly money..
