So a bloke stands on a synthetic rope and the world of safety Nazi"s lose their brains. Really, so what. Would I do it, probably not.

What about all the people who jump out of perfectly good airplanes, go bungy jumping, surfing in known shark (attack) waters, pick up a gun and go to war, run into a burning building or go out in big seas to save others or drive down the road to drop off the kids? Everything has a risk, but its up to the person performing that task to keep themselves alive and well.

We have gone way too far overboard with wrapping everyone up in cotton wool and then blaming / suing someone else for our stuff ups. As is now said regularly, common sense ain't so common anymore!

Saw a fantastic bumper sticker on a ute that sums it up: "WorkCover, breeding a nation of softcocks".

I'm trying to understand why he was standing on the rope in the first place. What was he trying to achieve?

Can only think he was trying to 'pull' the front passengers down.  There really was no need.  No need to winch. Okay the rear drivers was in a hole and there was lower ground under the front passengers.  By all means have a spotter, but really with the truck locked just drive it out, there was no threat of the thing tipping over to get all excited about or to try and pull the front passengers down.  It only looks bad but nothing was going to happen.

Sounds like most of you guys were still wearing nappies when you where six year old, I am 61 years of age and have done plenty of dangerous things  in my life and am still breathing. It is a TV show get over it you whimps.

Thanks alnjan, I was thinking the same, but thought it was just me, lockers in and drive out.

Yep D4D think it was all done for the 'show' like a lot of the things they do
