Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

News link hints 'ladder' and minor injuries.

How’s this hauling job? I’d have preferred another strap but I’d depleted the stash behind the seat to only 1. I only had about 2 miles to go and went slow and careful.

I saw that also, hence my ambiguous post previously. The picture is obviously a ramp though, as mentioned by the poster who shared the link. At that point that it was in her windshield the driver couldn't have cared less what the proper name was, and you can't expect a reporter to be accurate.

I too. I think it's one of those things where the last thing you see before an event like that, is the one you put the blame too.

Good point. Trucks and their drivers are always fair game when anything goes wrong, anyways.

I think I'd have split the shingles into two piles.

I seem to be getting confused easily today. As per the article; how was the truck driver at fault when all that he did was try to avoid the ladder(-ramp-) as it laid in the road? I do agree that he should have stopped to render assistance assuming that he knew what had happened.

Exactly, if it came off of the road, the truck isn't at fault (unless it was a rock and they didn't have mudflap).

Hose gets beat in use. It gets dragged thru all sorts of stuff and dirt embeds in it wearing it in that manner as well. Sun and ozone will kill nylon and cotton too. Just like those tow straps, it will head south eventually. Hose gets tested around here once a year. I've seen failure in use, it's exciting and a hazard.
Hose removed from service can be handy, it is pretty tough stuff.

I agree IF they were used, but in most buildings the only abuse is dust from sitting on them.

I agree, hopefully the truck driver is not charged, certainly it was not the fault of the truck.

Doubt that its DOT legal but they sure but some effort into it.

I don't see what is wrong with that. I used to drive back and forth to New York with my ATV in the back of my Toyota, and the rear wheels resting on the tailgate. I'm trying to scrounge up some square tubing to make a bracket somewhat similar to the above for my snowsled to set on, I'm tired of pretzeling tailgates.
