That is one very lucky man

That's a shocking incident but the snatch strap is not really the part of that set up that was dangerous, using fencing wire and dragging a giant tyre are the bits people should avoid, I'd say.

Sheesh. Lucky guy!!

On another note - Lorella Station - 1,000,000 acres ~1500 sq miles. Holy cow, batman!

I agree, but it does go to show how much energy can be stored in snatch straps

When you have seen one go through the back of a Land Rover and out through the wind screed. You what is likely to happen if it hits someone. He is lucky to be alive.

I've seen one break a towball that embedded itself in the towing Range Rovers rear windscreen, I have great respect for them!
