This is a classic 'how not to ...' video. Most of these crossings were always going to end up with stranded water logged cars. The only ones that had the right idea were the cars with trailers at the end - snatch straps should have been pre-connected to a vehicle already on the other side, which drove along just fast enough to keep the slack out of the strap and ready to pull on command (by the driver of the car in the water) if needed. Too late to go rummaging around connecting straps to a vehicle that has already become stranded.
For all you people who shouted no when the person put the snatch strap over the tow ball, glad to see you are on the ball (so to speak) but, you were mistaken. They could have used the tow ball because the car was rolling and not stuck, someone said, “we've got a floater” and that means it was just the depth of the water and not the wheels stuck. However, better to side on the edge of caution and not use the tow ball. The takeaway point here is, if you are going to quote safety and recovery rules, get them right.
Those snorkelers (trucks with the snorkels) we're probably the smartest ones there. Waited till the backs bottomed out and used the wet sand as traction to push the rest of the vehicle out. Smartest ones there I'd have to assume. They also just knew how to drive, it was honestly satisfying
Ill-prepared, overconfident drivers and beer-swilling, phone-camera-gripping spectators. The Old Telegraph Track has become a playground for the cerebrally impoverished. Tow trucks and rescue helicopters sure do a thriving business up there these days. Ruined engines, ruined tracks, expensive 'fun'. People who think the Australian bush is some sort of theme park give 4x4 drivers a bad name. Just sad...
I dont get the point of this. If no one can get across then whats the point of trying? Is there no other way? Or this is how they wash trucks in Austrailia?
She keeps saying no rush. They are working as fast as they can. What you doing. Put your phone down and stop cracking jokes. How about you help if you can do it better.
What a shit show, but at least they could conjure up enough brain cells to stop old mate using the tow ball. Otherwise the title would have been "guy dies at Nolans"
