Wow, that’s such a freakish accident. Condolences too all involved.

Ahhh yes. The typical AZ lifted truck with a 14" drop draw bar.

So you're trying to tell me I can't take a running start on a slack tow line hooked to my 14" drop draw bar meant for a max of 10,000lbs and then have it suddenly hit a wall?! And Im sure I didn't do any planning and bring a weighted sand bag to put half way in between the tow line to ensure it doesn't act like a slingshot if something were to go wrong...

All the millenial hillbillies in AZ have lifted diesel trucks. I would guestimate 95% have no clue how to tow or how to properly use heavy equipment.

There is alot to be learned by this. I too have ruined some gear by just giving it a "pop".
