Those pieces of metal don't even look sturdy enough to hold the Jeep. It's probably a good thing he got stuck and didn't go further.

I'd sure like to see someone up on top of that fence with a high lift jack trying to get it down.

They almost look like extension ladders. Almost.

Haha, I'd like to see that also. I'm not sure what the hell the ramps are... They almost look like part of a radio tower.
