What damage can be caused to a vehicle through snatching someone out of a pit?

With a proper Kinetic Energy rope I wouldnt think there would be much (if any damage) - from memory the damage to Gary's truck was done with a standard tow rope/strap

Think i may have posted this on the forum before, but any way, the correct way to "snatch" someone out with a kinetic

Don't forget all the other abuse it's had in the past and the tin worm!!!!!! Yeah was a standard strap we didn't have a kinetic mine was at home  a lot of it was the tree stump i was stuck on!!! hey was the excuse i needed to modify it

| I think that unless you are experienced arthur, leave the kinetics to someone who knows what they are doing! They can be very vicious if in the wrong hands! Good tool once you are used to it though! |
