I have done a lot of "Reverse Rolls" with a wrecker....the problem here is he was running the rope against the body & chassis which is a big "No-No" in my book. I'll admit, it's very quick, it always works & it was how I was taught 40 years ago but I have a lot more respect for my rope then that now. I would use loop straps against the body to do the procedure now. If you miss something or the casualty slides/moves and damages a strap, not that big of a deal.

While the recovery seems "cool to see", I believe it's an example of what not to do. With the road closed, a conventional forward roll seems more appropriate. Adding to Mr. Ed's comment, should the cable have snapped due to shock load, the truck was in free mode to roll away with no 4x4s initially blocking the tires. Worse yet, the tower realized he flipped the truck atop a burning flare. If there were the slightest fuel, an explosion would have ensued.
