That is sad to hear.  I would no way have used a KERR in that situation (mainly because they scare me and i would rather daisy chain a few motors and pull gently) but i have kept quiet as you were there to help and the rest of us weren't.  We all do things that aren't sensible and hindsight is 20-20.  Flaming You or Vince Cobley is unfair and bloody pointless.  Keep on marshalling and doing a good job (Hope the Truck aint too expensive to repair :?: ).  We all learn from our own and others mistakes.

Miniman:
I wish you would all shut up about it. You are all repeating each others comments.

While we're on the SAFETY subject, just a quickie.
While we were out last weekend, Drum got stuck going thru some deep mud and stalled, car wouldnt restart (imagine that, Drum and 'deep' mentioned in the same sentence haha)
Anyway, we began winching using a truck using blue synthetic rope. Part way thru, it snapped(fully loaded).


Its cool stuff, it sprung back a bit, and just fell to the floor coiled up.

Id have been happy to have been standing next to it in shorts.

Recommended as far as safety is concerned.

Rolla.

I think there are a few things that we've all learnt about the 'bigger picture' because of what has arisen here.

Firstly, if a mistake has been made, expect folk to recognise that and point it out. As long as it's done with respect, eveything should be cool.

Secondly, if it's you thats made the goof, treat any advice and views you may get with respect.

Getting churlish, being insulting or threatening or getting on high horses / soap boxes etc, won't do anyone any favours and will only supress the learnin' process. And if we don't learn from it, there's no point in discussing it.  :wink:

Some really good points have been drawn out here, and it would be a shame if we let the negative aspects out weight them.

So in short, respect is the key word. Be kind to peoples mistakes (everyone is allowed to make them) but also graciously accept when its you thats made them.  :wink:

Cheers
