    That’s one I’ve never seen before.

    Trailer took a nosedive?

    Sliding way too fast. Basically dumping the clutch in low, and relying on the stop of the tandem rails to stop you.

    Same guys that couple trailers at 5 or 10 mph.

    Id guess his slider was in poor repair and stuck... So he jerked it REALLY hard to break it loose and when it hit the rear stop something broke releasing the entire tandem group... Which the wedged the trailer into the air.

    If that’s how it happened, how is the body not on the ground with the tandem behind it?

    The OM is awake and once again bringing up the extra wet food portions of a 34 hour break.

    At first she's like,"You could go in there and get more chicken, and no one would ever know."

    I see dudes back into Wells and yard dogs zoom around without the handle locked in, and the pins aren't locked.

    Doesn't take much if the force is just right or corrosion comes into play.

    That's why some trailers the slider is WHACKED and caddywampus, from moving it without the pins locked.
