[QUOTE="condor22, post: 168684, member: 1932"] As the young man was hit in the head with the shackle and although not confirmed, the tow vehicle has been alleged to have used the tow ball to locate the shackle, which allegedly broke. If so, the strap did not break, the shackle did not give way, rather the point to which they were fixed. I would also suggest no strap dampener was used. So, all in all, bad practice looks to be the cause here, allegedly. The tie down loops welded to the underside of modern cars are exactly that, loops to tie the vehicle down when being transported, they are not rated recovery points. [/QUOTE]
