Re: safety chains and the laws

The second one Matt was pulling the empty trailer up the rocks when the trailer just popped loose and rolled down hill and slammed into a rock.
Yeah actually he drove off a ledge and the tongue hit the ground and the entire rear end of the jeep was hanging off the ball coupler!

Once a coupler is pulled off the ball then it's going to be more likely to happen again.

Fun videos and he has a knack for pulling vehicles out of the sand, snow, and mud, but I'm getting more perplexed about some of the things that he does. The last one he dragged Lizzie and Randy ten miles across the desert in a junk car with no tires, windshield, or doors! A "carnival ride" that could have ended very badly.

I don't know why he doesn't rig up some sort of contraption off the hitch receiver that he could use to hold up one end of a side by side or small car like a wrecker ??? When our VW bug steering broke one night a couple miles from home, I went back the next morning with my log truck (without the trailer) and a hi lift jack and jacked up the car and just chained it to my pintle hitch.
