I get when properly used there's a time and place for it but anyone else hate seeing people go at with these kinetic ropes? Its always someone that just keeps trying for a bigger and bigger running start till its too late. Feels like even if this guy did just hook the rope to the truck he was going to take it too far.
I've been involved in several extrications where the only option was a kinetic rope. Bottom of a canyon, nothing but mud, no anchor points anywhere, my rig weighed the same as the Grand Cherokee buried to the bottom of the rockers all the way around. All the winch would do is get me muddy and drag my rig to them.
No one else was silly enough to ski down the muddy hill to where they were.
What should I have done?
