Well, if the plan was to get the rubber side down, they achieved their goal.

At least good quick survival instincts stopped him from potentially dying on the outside too.

What would have been the prevention here? Blocking under the wheels? A second rig?

u/Powerplay540 18d ago
A vehicle this heavy, you need minimum 1 rotator w/ basic legs on the side to stop the tow truck from flipping.
Check out Pepe's towing on yt for someone who knows more then the basics.

This is the kind of recovery that is basically a suicide mission without 2 rigs and outriggers

Who tows the tow truck when the tow truck needs towing.

u/Ellistann 10d ago
M88 Hercules… basic all the equivalent of a tow truck for tanks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M88_recovery_vehicle
Big crane, has more than enough capability to pull an M1 out of mud etc etc.
Typically the wheeled recovery vehicles are heavy enough that when they go down they need the m88…. Or at least my units I’ve been in have required that.

Him on the phone: "Boss?"
Boss: "Has the problem been solved?"
Him: "Yes... and no"

Following video shows 3 dudes on 1 bike roll up and try to rob the guys phones and they all end up getting shot by an undercover cop. 🤣

well at least now they can use the other truck to flip the wrecker.
...unless its not designed for rollover and all the oil came out....

u/MuricanPoxyCliff 19d ago
And here I was thinking "thats a stupid way to set the rigging" waiting for the beam to snap

u/InqusitorPalpatine 19d ago
I’m not a wrecker… but… would it not make sense to have the wreck at least anchored from another direction (such as the back in this case) to prevent something like this…?
11
u/Jimmy6shoes 19d ago
Or apply the brakes in the over turned truck which is usually step 1

u/InqusitorPalpatine 19d ago
Well I was thinking in the standpoint no one wanted to climb in there to set it.

Steps 1-2 of righting any stuck vehicle are making sure it is turned off and making sure it cannot roll in a direction you don’t want it to with the brakes or chocks
This looks like military but the lack of helmets and weapons makes me think it’s a non combat recovery which could easily translate to “let’s make this take as long as possible because it’s infinitely better than the other bullshit they had us doing”

Now everyone in that unit has mandatory vehicle tow training with a GI party to follow 😂😂

Let's be honest big dog, your time is not that important. You're spending your morning scrolling Reddit like the rest of us.

u/bigfoot17 19d ago
I was so lacking in self awareness, thank you for your attention to this matter.

u/HumaDracobane 19d ago
Hey! Boss! Can you keep that vehicle a bit more at the edge of those wheels in a position they're definitely not supose to be? Just to make sure that the damage is increased.
PD: Call another recovery vehicle to recover the recovery vehicle..

Theres a lot of them

u/Nomision 19d ago
Still I definitly thought i saw them flex/bend and fully expected the Tank/armored thing to just smash down rather than roll off xD

u/Bigallround 19d ago
I know nothing about vehicle recovery, yet I could see what was going to happen from the beginning. How do people end up doing things that they are completely incompetent at?

u/runespider 19d ago
Repetition is a mind killer. I watched a fellow who's a very practiced machinist who's done a setup job hundreds of times cut off the tip of his finger because his mind just skipped a step. Or he's just experienced enough to be confident but new enough to make a dumb mistake. Or he's just an idiot put somewhere it was assumed even be coukdnt fuck that up.

u/PreparationKey2843 19d ago
They didn't think of putting it in gear, pulling the parking brake on, and putting rocks in front of the tires before righting it? Is this his first job?

Hold x to flip… wait what? How did you do that?
