    I've seen that a lot of places. The best is when the ICC bar sets down directly onto the concrete wall when the bags deflate.

    Ive seen Prime driver tear out half of his trailer bumper in Tacoma love's and drag it down the street. He would get on freeway that way if not for another driver running after him to stop him.
    What a #######, true steering wheel holder.

    It only looked like a 'bunch'. Compression forced the trash to the top. Ever squeezed a half empty water bottle.... It's like that.
    The garbage had created a meniscus. Another inch, woulda blown up!

    That story made me chuckle.
