It is interesting to note that most of these videos are from outside the country. I wonder they do not use any professional service and just use makeshift/whoever they can find type of deal. Another video I watched where a car is set upright only to roll away to ditch - kept me wondering why in world would they not lock the brakes or something before going through all that trouble. I am no engineer, but it would make sense to me to have some counter weight/pull from the other side to stabilize the rig when setting it up right.

In cases like this, you can sometimes experience injuries from the shrapnel resulting from the violent collision of common sense and the reality of what is before you!
