Re: Why we have safety chains

Is that video real? That boat was going awfully fast and the nose of the trailer seems to be hovering in the air(like it had the trailer jack wheel down)....instead of pushing along the ground.

I thought that as well until I noticed the tandem axle trailer... a very well balanced one by the looks of it.

Unfortunately being so-called "well balanced" is probably what caused the trailer to unhook from the vehicle. Probably not enough tongue weight.

It's funny but I think it's fake.

Web cam happens to be running on the flat boring highway?

No reaction when the boat passes?

Trucks that had to have seen it cruise on by?

Boat has cleared the ditch and runs a long way level and parallel to the road

Boats speed accelerates faster than vehicle

With all the dust it's kicking up, it's rolling on soft ground.

tongue doesn't dig in.

Who are the people standing around and where did they come from?

I'm gonna hafta agree with Home Cooking there. Just the boat jumping that ditch and still picking up enough speed to pass the truck is a little suspect in of itself. I suppose we'll never know........
