People using straps or chains typically think you need to “get a run at it” and take up the slack by accelerating away at 30mph, only to have their bumper ripped off

If it was attached to the bumper, it was never going to work anyway.

"getting a run at it" often does work if slow and steady doesn't work (i.e the pulling vehicle doesn't have enough traction). But you need enough slack to get the pulling car moving. If you just give it throttle on the spot, you'll dig in and have two stuck cars, at which point you might as well get a tractor to save time on pulling them out.

If you're going off roading though, there's other equipment to help you out. Have a shovel in the trunk. Some sort of boards or something that you can put under the wheels so they stop digging deeper through the dirt. I reckon could've gotten that cyberdumpster out with no pulling, not that I'd take that thing off roading (or drive it in the first place).

What most surprises me is that in the video they actually put something under the wheels of the cyberdumpster so clearly someone there has previous experience getting vehicles unstuck. If it was the cyberdumpster driver, it begs the question of why he'd take such a ridiculous vehicle off roading anyway. I've had better luck in FWD sedans, let alone cars with torsen-based AWD (Quattro!) or proper 4wd with lockable diffs.

I don't know why but I've been watching Matt's Offroad Recovery videos and they often do the fast yank with one of their vehicles.
