I’d call that gross negligence on the part of the recovery crew. Thankfully, nothing bad happened.Vic Harder said:Impressive! Is it just me, or was there some decidedly "unsafe" jacking and winching in that clip?
I did something just like that back in the 70's, when I was 23 or so. After thinking about it for a while I bought jack stands and vowed to never do something that stupid again.

I have never told anyone about it before, due to extreme embarrassment and inability to claim I was not terminally stupid.Vic Harder said:Impressive!
