I understand not wanting to watch the video. The whole thing is just so... horrible. But in case you were wondering, it is not graphic (i.e. no images of the deceased), the video is posted online with permission from the family, and money raised through the video is being donated to the family.Though the video might be just analytic, I have to say that I have no drive to watch it.
Poor wife and son and friend as well. So terrible.
But here are the key take-away points, from the source presented by Caladan (above): https://www.exploringoverland.com/o.../another-hitch-ball-recovery-another-fatality)
"Don’t use hitch balls for recovery purposes. Any recovery purposes. And don’t use non-kinetic straps for kinetic recoveries. Even if you’re towing someone across a parking lot, a kinetic strap or rope provides an extra measure of safety."
