Not necessarily, A guy I worked with had a Storm, and when it got stuck in the
snow they pulled it out by the "towhook" (if you could call it that) in the
back. It only pulled the bumper halfway off when they got it out. A little
duct tape and some bailing wire and he kept driving it. So basically, if you
see a storm stuck, call a towtruck and don't pull it out yourself.

What a bunch of idiots.

Anyone who's done any off-tarmac driving knows the first rule of
recovery:

NEVER use a tow strap with hooks! If the strap or hardpoint gives,
you've got a deadly missle.

Also- he went the entirely wrong direction- or should have at least
dug the snow out from behind the vehicle.
