WARNING: Roll cage is NOT to be used as a recovery point.

I am speechless.

That was a bad idea. . . What were they trying to accomplish? Rolling it over into the mud? They should have winched it out from a recovery point at the front or rear of the vehicle. . .

Rule #1 Bolt the cage to the frame, not the body.
Rule #2 Pull from the front or back not the middle or side.

Were they trying to roll it or just use it as a big mud scoop?

Id cry, and then call a buddy with a flatbed, unload it in my driveway, and cry some more.

That's pretty metal... and I'm trying to figure out what they were trying to accomplish there too. I mean, if it's not already on its side, pulling from there isn't going to do a whole lot...

i think they were wanting to put more weight onto the drivers side to create traction so he could drive forward at the same time

Now would be a good time to install that body lift they always wanted.

Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators.
