    How hard do you have to brake to get something that size to jump the gooseneck?

    Minimal securement or no securement and dynamiting the brakes is a good recipe for death and destruction.

    Still though, that's one hell of a lip to get over.

    Seeing no remenants of securement (or lifting slings) puzzles me even more.

    There's been a few cases back in my rental house days where the customer had to crane out 80' boom lifts because they built the plant around them. The only escape was to lift them out. So its not out of the realm of possibility they were hoisting it onto the bed.

    Binder on the ground near the trailer. Tires on truck chocked (could be placed after damage).

    The story is on the internet. I don't remember the details but he stopped and the loader didn't. Driver didn't survive.
