Ha! It appears that the driver may been pressured into doing it. Waste of time though.

The point? Well that's easy, exterior clensing! A mud bath is all the rage these days!

I was expecting that to snap off. I was very impressed by that...

I don't think any of those people have ever seen a tow strap or chain snap. They were all standing too close, at least I think so. I have seen a couple of them snap and I wouldn't want to be near it.

I'm confused; did it make you sick or make you laugh out loud?

Seemed pretty pointless to drive the thing into that hole; makes me wonder if they did the same with other vehicles to see if they could be driven out. I'd think the Unimog would've even had a tough time doing that.
