This is why you practice proper towing techniques

Trolling the ditches and fields along Michigan winter roads would capture some video like that one.
I have asked people to move away from a strap/not snatch with a chain, or suggested they do some digging and clear the tires/frame, or mentioned it is probably too stuck for the gear/vehicle/angles/road surface they are trying to extract with, and a tow truck with lift legs can get it out safely with no damage.
And they look at me like I am just a silly wimp. I usually get back in my warm vehicle and leave, as I am old and it is cold out and I don't want to see the carnage.
And I don't freeze my ass off anymore for idiots.
But it is amazing that some of these guys with their lifted shiney pickups think they can yank plastic frameless vehicles out of a 6 foot deep ditch/muddy plowed field with brute horsepower and a running start.
Although they do get part of the vehicle sometimes. And I suppose eventually the whole vehicle could be brought out that way.
