Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

I am seeing a lot of straps. Not sure about some of them. One thing is for sure. Those bottles do not have any safety caps or rings on them to protect the valves. Gees

Zoom in on the picture, you can see the gauges on the tank on the left, they are pressurized .... YIKES

Here are some of the thing's I've seen out and about recently.

They must have had a hard stop without trailer brakes. I wonder how his tailgate works?View attachment 566733

I highly doubt that the crunched truck had a trailer issue. That damage is from getting run into.

Not the greatest scanned picture from the 90s. I had a friends unlicensed truck and thought it would be good to deliver this frame for a pond shack some twenty miles away. It was put on a K-Car axle!

My friend went Ballistic, when he found out. I guess I was kind of out of line. Easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.

That looks like it would make a solid shack. Is the shack still there?

^^^I had the same thoughts... good way to go if you have the material.

I'm guessing it's a 50/50 chance that tailgate opens. Given it already doesnt match the rest of the truck its probably not the first time that happened. I'm guessing small car rather than trailer as well. At least for one of the impacts. The damage area is to wide fir a trailer tongue. I suppose the tongue could have gone all the way under & the deck or load did the damage. Would think a deck would mangle the whole bumper equally rather than mostly in the middle.

I've seen similar damage on bumper mounted hitches when you try to back a trailer over a curb or log, although mine went down instead of up, just because of the hitch angle.

I wonder what went wrong here, with the car and trailer rolled in opposite directions.

Maybe severely tongue light and the trailer whipped violently at speed?

Only had the happen once... I did not load and was told ready to go and had to get going.

Got on the freeway and accelerated up to speed and the car trailer violently fishtailed... scariest thing ever and it was box trailer so no trailer brakes which would have helped to regain control
