Sad story of a 14 year old boy killed by a flying tow hook during a failed vehicle recovery. I am coming to the view that responsible recovery training should be compulsory, but how can we mandate that. I guess as a club we can for our members. But as we saw with Hunno's flying hook episode at Jambo, you can't ensure that the other party knows what they are doing, or what are the reasonable limits in that situation, and sometimes shit happens no matter how careful we are. But this was never a good setup, and he should not have been where he was (bet there was no dampener as well).
