    Sorry, man.
    Not a Facebook'er. Can't view it.
    The concept is understood, none the less.

    I don't do Facebook either, just hit play.

    It shows how more weight at the rear acts like a pendulum and causes an uncontrollable situation when it starts to swing.

    Says I've got to sign in.
    Isn't going to happen, Moose.

    And as stated: I grasp the concept. This wouldn't be new to me, where it concerns the philosophy / dynamics / physics of such an event.

    Nice demo but doesn't work for a pup with trailer.
    That video is only valid for carhaulers.

    The video also proves that Mustangs have poor handling and road holding.
