    Quite the Tour de Force of situations trucks aren't supposed to be in during this video. Hopefully I.C.E. has spied this video. :evil2:

    And what is with all the hoods falling open? You can't blame those kids at the Blue Beacon all the time.

    Our hoods are held down mostly by giant rubber bands. Not known for their strength. If something comes and pulls or pushes on it with enough force it will break the rubber bands.

    My point is that it looks like no stress is being applied to these Herculean rubber bands, yet they fail causing the hood to pop open.

    Near as I can tell the frame must be twisting for this to occur even if it looks like the tractor is remaining completely upright according to the POV camera.

    :dontknow:

    Other than ice is slippery, and driving needs 100% of everyone driving's attention I am flummoxed.

    Yes, it seems like many of those wrecks were caused by people not paying attention
