Impressive!  Is it just me, or was there some decidedly "unsafe" jacking and winching in that clip?

I’d call that gross negligence on the part of the recovery crew.  Thankfully, nothing bad happened.

I did something just like that back in the 70's, when I was 23 or so. After thinking about it for a while I bought jack stands and vowed to never do something that stupid again. I was out by myself in the middle of the eastern snake river plain of southern idaho -- if that rig would have slipped off the jack in the minute or so I took to remove the boulder I high centered on, well, i would not be writing this note! I have never told anyone about it before, due to extreme embarrassment and inability to claim I was not terminally stupid.

 

Maybe I have learned a little bit since then.

Thank you for that observation, rando. I had to stop watching these videos awhile back.
