Pay and Play Recovery gone wrong

<< < (2/7) > >>

Mark_Solesbury:
Dont get me wrong, i wasnt saying that the recovery bloke was responsible - I very much doubt he did it intentionally.

The point I was making was to do one without checking that everyone was out of order.

This is the image -

He was ok, just very annoyed and upset. If its you, and you want it removed, let me or a mod know to edit the post.

dxmedia:
How did it happen?  Was it just too much speed which caused the flip?

V8MoneyPit:
I have been involved in a recovery where the Suzuki I was towing fipped on it's side. I certainly would never have left the scene afterwards. It happens to have been a friend, but it wouldn't have been any different it I'd not known the person. In this case, we could see from film footage that the towed vehicle had a lot of steering lock on and rode up a bank. It came doen to lack of communication. But I still felt terrible about it even though the other driver reasured me that it wasn't my fault  :(

Disco Matt:
Legging it like that is indeed bang out of order. If it was on a road, that would surely count as leaving the scene of an accident without exchanging details?

Excess speed seems to be a common recovery mistake, along with over-eagerness to use a winch or a kinetic rope when a bit of thought and a plain tow strap would get you out far more quickly and safely.

I've probably missed it but do we have a recovery techniques guide on here?
