boy looks to be having a day

 

And if he's not really, really careful, it's gonna get a lot worse!

 

Looks like a little bit of thought could save that one but one wrong move and he’s ####ed

 

How does this happen?

 

That’s my question.

 

I agree he might be able to save it, but best and safest solution is to grab his phone and call Ron Pratt.

 

I've seen drawworks do this back in my oily days. All it took was the twist coming out of the deck as trailer came off the road berm on a tight corner, started the load moving before the chain tensioned back up and it popped them like string. Of course, back then almost everything was marginal on securement, but the sight of a big chain popping in two was enlightening, to say the least. Thankfully it stayed on the trailer, i just had to tug of back in place with my gin truck (I was in front of him helping him around the corner with my big winch.)
