Track 2 – Snatch Strap Recoveries

In this episode we interview Jason Lock from TJM to learn how to properly and safely use a Snatch Strap.  Used poorly, Snatch Straps can kill, so it is really important that you know exactly what you are doing to avoid killing or injuring yourself or someone else, as well as avoiding damage to your vehicle.

Here is the story about the death of a man in 2022 killed in front of his family in a snatch recovery gone wrong.  Very tragic with some graphic photos.

We also look at what to look at in a snatch strap and what brands to avoid.

Here is the thread about Jayden Nightingale, the young guy who was hit in the back of the head.  He ended up in a coma, but looks to have made a good recovery.  Could of been a lot worse!
