    That is why those type of moves cost big bucks.
    I remember watching a load come off a modular trailer that had the hydraulic steering go on a downhill.
    When the weights are so high and one aspect goes wrong things snowball as there is not much contingency built in.
    Luckily as in the accident I witnessed it seems no one got hurt.

    Wow looks like dumber and dumber, what was the guy in the brake truck thinking? Ah let me jump out last minute then after the #### hit the fan run back to unit and get back in? They should have realized before they went down the grade that , that was a strong possibility of occurance. There should have been 2 anchor trucks in the rear , possibly a large bulldozer on tracks for grip. That movie fools the observer it is much steeper than it looks. Hope everyone was ok other than having to change their underwear.
