Dang. I hope that guy was OK.
Last jeepin death I heard of was two recovery straps joined by a shackle about four years in Pennsylvania(?). Something broke and the stretched strap hurled the shackle into the drivers head. Killed em. Wife was right there. Kid was further down the trail in someone else's rig.

Not a year goes by when I have to yell at somebody for trying to extend recovery straps with something heavy like a shackle. You don't attach heavy metal to stretchy stuff that breaks.

I heard you can loop one strap through another with something light, like a stick, and it'll keep them from seizing on each other so you can take em apart after the recovery. Haven't tried that one.

What do you mean?

instead of tieing to straps together.. you put a stick between them..
that when you untie them the stick releases tension..

Are you talking about the guys that were playing after a mud event, and it was posted on here? If so I think that was in the midwest and he was friends with the guy who posted it. Yes you can put a stick in between two straps. I've done it several times.
