I took this from an e-mail I received:

This past weekend was beautiful, unless you are a family or friend of the 22 yr old guy from Flushing who was killed while off-roading. He was in an off-road park trying to extract another truck when the strap broke and came through his rear window killing him instantly. Please use this as a reminder to ALWAYS use good, rated equipment and NEVER use a clevis or anything metal to hook two trucks together (screw type ONLY no hooks). If you wish to learn more about extraction safety feel free to get ahold of me or see the link below (recovery bible).

Very sad. Seems to happen about every other year. 2 years ago it was our own Jonathan Blystra.

Thanks for drawing attention to this Bob. Everyone needs to be aware of safety issues when out on the trail, and practice proper safety always.

This is truly sad news. Prayers and best wishes for this young mans family and friends.

perhaps we as an association could make a substantial donation out of our money take from the pig gig.

id like to donate an ambassador membership to his son, but his family might not be ready for this. or might not even appreicate it.
