Very sad. I hope the lady was not hurt too badly.
I hook up my toad by myself. That said inevitably someone in the CG always wants to help.
I ALWAYS have to tell the person to step aside before I move the toad forward.
Same thing when hooking up a tow chain to pull some one out, people always want to stand right next to the tow chain. Have to tell them to move way away before I pull.:R
I have had 2 clips break apart when pulling someone out and those hooks become guided missiles flying fast enough to lop your head clean off.
Sadly some people just don't think ahead about safety.
