[@susanowens6393]

Glad to hear the gentleman was okay.another great job done.

[@ericm8811]

Hey Rotator Ron! Rotator rescues rule! Ride ride ride!

[@mikebiron7339]

Dang, 85+ mph in a 73,000 pound rotator! That is gett`in it done son! Great job Ron!

[@martincerveny8230]

I did the math and it's like 130-140kmh. Woaw, rotator is very fast ;-)

[@fastst1]

Sitting on the governor :) go truck go.

[@bradnoyes7955]

I'm curious what the speed limit is there because he was running 85, and not passing the car in the right lane until it put on the brakes.

[@Commissar0617]

implying the shop has a gov in it

[@southjerseysound7340]

There's a few times its justified and this was one of them.I dont run a rotator but my wrecker is good to 88 ;-)

[@iceman7541]

we all love the window cam but the safety of the man who was stuck in the car is more important. Thanks for sharing your video Be safe out there

[@nashguy207]

Ron thanks for taking us on this call with you. Thank God He was ok. Excellent work as usual by the mid west truck team. Have a great week. God Bless!!!

[@zalmaflash]

The cables did their job again from preventing a major accident. Good job as always Ron. Thanks

[@ryansnuverink1375]

My father owns 2 tow companies in Michigan that i have grown up at and love. I really enjoy watching every video you post. We have had our fair share of emergency extractions over the years i think this is the first ive ever seen with 0 blood involved.

[@barbarascharmen8627]

Thank you Mr. Pratt for all that you do. If I'm ever in your neck of the woods and need help. You will be the one that I call. Enjoy your videos. Praying for the safety of you and each of your guys as they do their job.

[@philsmidwestclassiccars150]

Another great recovery Ron. It was wild to see you use all the different functions of the truck to pull the cable barrier up off of the car & than able to drag the disabled car out from under the cables. 1st thing that crossed my mind was cutting the cable. That's why I'm armchair quarter backing while your out there getting the job done. Awesome video.

[@beardeddad74]

Ooooh boy that guy was lucky! Thank God for folks like yourself Ron... God Bless You sir!

[@karenlingefelt627]

glad to know that the people in the car were ok & another great job god bless all

[@gthyhtujjuk]

You're a good man, Ron. I would be honored to have you working in my town.

[@PhilsProjects]

Great job Ron. running that truck at 80+ takes skill courage and a whole lot of attention, Great Video once again. thanks for sharing

[@williamcrooker8329]

Thank you Mr. Pratt for all that you do ! I myself enjoy watching your videos for the rigging of all the different situations you run into. Again, thank you !

[@hagfan78]

You can tell Mr. Pratt is a no nonsense, take charge of the situation kind of man. Great job as always Sir!

[@guitarpopi06]

enjoy watching you and your crew doing a professional and take charge job.... So happy the driver was safe....and pray you and your crew to continue to be safe out there..... God bless....

[@ryanlukens9280]

Thank you for doing the job you do. The people in your dispatch area are lucky to have someone with your talent and professionalism.

[@johngerry3256]

Saint Ron protector of the Highways, May God keep you safe and Bless you!

[@coinsandheartpieces2791]

Add this to the reasons why it's nice to have people like you considered emergency vehicles

[@danachappell3861]

Wow!!! That man had some really busy guardian angels taking care of him until you arrived. His car is totaled, and he walked away from it with nary a scratch.. but may have had streaks in his undies... Great job, as always, and done with speed and safety. May God bless you and your family, all the workers and friends that work with you. Keep 'er safe and between the lines.

[@cogidubnus1953]

When a quick and gutsy response is needed, Ron's your man!

[@anthonylinkus5449]

Ron good job are praying for him his guardian angel was with him. Good job Ron

[@carlloar7524]

That shows how great those cables do their job.

[@Tom_Losh]

Those cable do their job of keeping things out of the oncoming lanes, but they can also slice right into a car like a bandsaw if they get a good bite...

[@phalanx3803]

i would hate to hit them cables on a bike. i probably wont get a chance to hate them i would be dead

[@innomin8251]

Yup, they're a death trap. They're intended to stop cars from crossing into oncoming traffic. At all costs.

[@Mike-qv3pz]

I live in Europe and we use gaurd rails next to roads, iv seen them in the US aswell what is the advantage with those cables? is it cheaper or what? To me it seems very unsafe and for sure for motocycles...

[@radioloops]

Cable barriers are alot safer for cars compared to guard rails or even worse, concrete barriers. Cables can absorb alot of the impact energy which is the force that usually kills in car crashes. And yeah, they are banned in europe because they are seen as a hazard to motorcyclist but in the US they havent increased lethal motorcycle accidents.

[@greypoet2]

I applaud your priorities. Well done.

[@HasteMadness]

Keep them video loading Ron. You and your team are true heros to the community. @ 6:10 using the right tool for the right job. @ 10:00 using the wrong tool for the wrong job. I thank god you did not cut yourself for not wearing your safety gloves. Please keep all PPE on. + Safety first & God bless +

[@edwinschlee8374]

Thank God the driver was fine! Great video/ Stay safe.

[@firemt_9778]

Glad to see y’all use some humor in stressful times. The stuff seen can never been unseen or difficult to block. We do the same thing, find some humor on the difficult ones. Stay safe ron, and your crew.

[@bobbaer869]

Hello Ron I am glad that the man was not hurt

[@Timmy2Hands]

I never knew what the interlock button on my car was for... now I do. Great job.

[@gorillaau]

Great job, Ron and Mike. Watch the tension on those cables.

[@jasonbrunault7902]

Very lucky guy. I've seen cable accidents like this and that cars structural body held out great. Thank God he managed to walk away

[@Kickinpony66]

Yes indeed, the safety of the occupant is paramount! Humor is a great stress releiving outlet! Great video Ron!

[@Torsee]

Wow! That cable system worked well. Your expertise on display! Very cool!

[@fynbo1007]

Thank you for sharing your amazing video

[@CrossAnchors]

Once again Ron, your caring for your fellow man, in your urgency to get the Driver out, was great to see, as well as this being another good video, thanks for sharing

[@jerrypin6740]

Ron thank you for sharing with us GOD bless everyone, from Kentucky

[@gerryjamieson1861]

Decent recovery video. My observations. You can be intense sometimes. Remember, your intensity can spread to others. Relax, stay focused, ascertain the occupants condition from the police officer upon your arrival. Then execute your plan in calm, deliberate actions. If you appear stressed, tense or anxious, others around you can easily pick up on that. Glad the driver didn't sustain any "observable injuries", not so for his car. Keep the videos coming.

[@TheVeroneeLife]

So glad u explained what a roll back was!!

[@beckyshock3099]

Always thankful for situations you can de-stress from, as an EMT there were quite a few runs there was no relief from the stress. There are release papers that the person signs so as not to hold up the fire and EMS at a scene where they are not needed/wanted.

[@bigdawgfl1977]

Good work Ron and crew stay safe

[@carolfrazer8067]

Holy cow! Glad he was not injured. From the looks of the car, he could have been injured badly. Cars can be replaced, lives can't.

[@simonaldridge82]

Great job Ron thankfully no one injured

[@MetalDetectingRVer]

Ron hello. I've been around a long time. I am a retired army helicopter pilot. 22 years active duty and another 15 with the civilian flight contractor. I have dealt with a lot of people and seen a lot of things. I just wanted to say that I think you are a very knowledgeable and professional person. I have been watching your videos and you are always calm, concerned, and safety oriented. Keep up the great work.

[@craigpinto3577]

Another good video Ron glad to the driver was ok. You can replace vehicles you can replace lives

[@darrenstracey2248]

great rescue guys glad to hear the driver was ok and unhurt take care and stay safe go home to your familys every day god bless one and all

[@tincans87]

Great job Ron.

[@FranknCarriesHomestead]

Thank goodness Ron, I have seen them cables open a car like a beer can. Thanks for the video

[@muleman1701]

Another great job Ron. This driver sure had someone watching over him. Those cables, while efficiently doing their intended job, are also a dangerous hazard (a little too close to the travel lane for my liking) and nuisance to recovery. But someone has probably said the same about the old W rails (Metal guard rails). Anyway, glad the driver was uninjured and glad you guys were able to help this person with what, on camera, seemed very little effort thanks to that awesome 1150R "multi tool". Stay safe and God Bless.

[@Joshua79C]

W rails are simply called Guide rails, but yeah I have seen some cases where that pierced into or even through a car be it window or through the side depending how the car hit it

[@klhaugen22]

Ron, you have such a wonderful heart. You are so knowledgeable and are generous to train the next generation. I enjoy watching to teach Tallon and now this young man. I’m not sure if I watch your videos because I’m in awe of the way solve every challenge presented to you or because you encourage me by showing me there are true gentlemen out there. Be safe!

[@jaydeng8848]

Your videos are awesome I have watched all of them

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Look at all the perty gauges in that truck! I like that cruising speed too!

[@Hairpie69720]

I would love to spend a day with Ron on the job any day of the week just to get a feel what is like for a tow operator

[@ricardocarrazana3367]

Glad that the driver made it out safe! I don't know what it is about these videos but they sure are addicting. At the end of every video it leaves me excited to see what's next to come. Towing & Recovery is one heck of a diverse line of work, having to respond at a moment's notice to the unexpected. Thanks for another great video! It always makes my day seeing a new video from this channel! :)

[@andygray9285]

Nice job again Ron thank you and stay safe.

[@zenoelea8239]

Another edge of the seat job watching here. That must have been scary for the driver during the incident cables scraping and screaming all over the car body wondering if they would cut through. ! Nice job Ron and team, thanks for the video.

[@jt5052]

Nasty weather! Stay safe Ron!

[@anthonyrobertson1787]

Thank you Ron and Mike, great job im glad to see the driver is ok 👌🙏

[@MrJdcorp]

Thank you for your service sir

[@flooredford9350]

poor lincoln, did its job though. guy seemed totally fine. you had that rig wound out, ive drove some bigguns at my job (ford tech, at a mostly commercial dealer) but never felt like pegging the speedo. keep up the good work Ron. God bless.

[@equipment-enthusiast]

Wow those safety cables are no joke! Nice video

[@scruffy6151]

Well done Ron and Mike well done.

[@SteveHolsten]

Another fine safe job Ron. Thanks for the video!

[@dewainwoodard4840]

Great video Ron thanks for sharing and have a great day and God bless

[@nathanbrodeur]

Ron I understand that the quicker you get there the better for the people

[@klausbukofski1555]

Thanks for the videos. Nice greetings from Germany.

[@thomabb]

One thing I have learned by watching this channel, those cable barriers are DANGEROUS.

[@kilmdried6897]

God bless you . Great job has always

[@Abm2014-SausageKing]

Great video, glad driver is ok. Great response too, could tell that you were putting some pep in your step to respond

[@maryannanderson7517]

Given how mangled that car is that driver is EXTREMELY lucky to get out of there with apparently no major injuries.

[@diciple2013]

Awesome job Ron I wish NC would allow wreckers, rollbacks and rotators could run 10-18 (Code) as y'all call it because as being a rescue tech, medic and ff there is times when we need them there faster. I know they can expedite but I'm going to look into statute to see what it says. Thanks for what you do

[@petemedina8446]

Great job guys glad the driver was okay keep up the good work.

[@centralkybassin4856]

Be safe out there man dangerous job you do to help people and their community

[@RonPratt]

It is a very dangerous job. I do the best I can to be safe. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@TheUserid82]

A nice example of why the right tool for the job is needed. The driver was okay the cables stayed intact and the only real damage was to the car and a few cheap posts that they will replace the next day.

[@RonPratt]

THANK YOU!!! Someone that understands the situation. Greatly appreciated. God bless.

[@gb8888gb]

Yeah my crew in Arkansas we make sure we get on fixing the cable quick

[@Traveling425]

OK I've had an accident so I'll just sit here munching cookies while they get me out, That's one cool guy.

[@waynecompton7612]

Thank you for the video Ron and Take Care 😎👍🇬🇧

[@ronmorris6863]

good job Ron and to all in the video

[@normangallant9879]

Good job and thank god nobody got injured

[@gb8888gb]

Glad to see the drive and every body working the wreak is ok I work on the cables here in Arkansas I have seen the cables do there job more time then them not do there job this time they did there job good video stay safe

[@bigdawgsbusa2]

Well done Ron and the humor was awesome to release that stress of a bad situation of not knowing til on site how bad or not the entrapment was life first and as all ways property can be replaced and on that note.. I think the scratches will buff right out😃 ok Ron see ya on the next one truck safe my friend.

[@JustinCopeland-ks1xb]

Geeze Drive any faster Ron?? Good video. Awesome rescue. Didnt know a rotator goes that fast

[@axelrod21]

Justin Copeland1998 I have seen a untrailored semi book it at 90. Most non governed semis can reach most passenger rated speeds if there not hauling.

[@dennisemanuel3559]

that rotator weighs almost as much as a loaded semi. 85 plus is doing pretty good @@axelrod21

[@TizianoCauso]

nice to see a beast with all those lights

[@klyonsden]

Big Applause! Well done!

[@v1antbo]

These cables on road ways should be outlawed. Not sure why anyone thinks this is a good idea. You are a good man !! God Bless

[@Mass_hole508]

Awesome job you guys do great work.

[@clydebalcom8252]

That was awesome. Y'all are a great team. Working the way you do reminds me of Special Operations.

[@tundramanq]

WOW two cable jobs in a row. Kind of wonder just how safe they are compared to the rails. A whole lot of stored energy in those tight cables just waiting to be released by an accident or you recovery guys. Never know when you will find the "weakest link" in this system and chaos ensues. I was absolutely horrified by the amount recoil and uncontrolled cable flight when you cut the turnbuckles in the last video.

[@davidelsea8945]

GREAT JOB RON

[@e4t662]

This heavy rescue man is also the smartest guy in the room.

[@TheCalgarydoug]

"is he going to need medical attention?" Nope, just some clean under britches. I'd guess the reason he took the keys is that he's old enough to have started driving before there was such a thing as locking steering and gearshift. Another winner Ron.

[@guy1637]

Glad everything turned out ok and everyone was safe and un harmed and another great video..Amazing work..:)

[@terrainesteenkamp3850]

humour is always the best despite how bad things can get keep up the cool videos Ron

[@davidwells9663]

Great job Ron. Looks like you had that rotator speedo wound off the clock.

[@davidclarke4040]

Hi Ron great recovery good video stay safe buddy

[@leekurtz3083]

always the professional; great work!!!

[@Rags722]

Good one Ron. Glad to see you are not wasting the night by sleeping . LOL

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Nice work and great job maintaining composure under pressure.

[@BackyardBeeKeepingNuevo]

I love your videos Mr Rotator. It is interesting how laws differ from state to state. I am from California and driving that rig or any tow vehicle 80+ wouldn’t be permitted and you may land you in jail for endangering the public. Lights and siren are not allowed if you are not fire, ambulance, or police no matter what the situation is. My comments are just an observation and not a criticism or judgement of your excellent work and professionalism.

[@RonPratt]

Missouri is one of only a few states that recognize towing/recovery vehicles as Emergency Vehicles. It is understandable that it is strange to a majority of viewers. Questions/comments about our ability to run Code (lights and siren) are, by far, the most common that I receive. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@alexsantiago357]

Vids getting better with fast energy and fun....good editing Ron 👍😎

[@sziltner]

Last video I saw you had a jack knifed semi hung up in those steel cables. Not sure they are better than old fashioned guard rails. Tnx for another excellent video. God bless and protect you and your crew.
