Urban sculptor killed by breakaway trailer
Everybody together...Safety chains not used or not properly applied.
Why does this kind of thing happen? Most of a family was killed by a commercial wood chipper that broadsided their minivan a couple of years ago. The guy hauling it was on something and didn't bother with chains..As soon as the news broke, I could pretty much say how that one happened too.
Don't know anything about this guy, but he didn't need to go this way and neither did the father and a couple of kids in the van.
Everyone needs to be paraniod about the truck to trailer connection...I am beyond OCD on that one...I jack the trailer up once it's latched, just to be sure. Then the chains are checked 3 times. Lives are not worth 10 saved minutes of anyone's time.
I hath spaken.
