The pin closed the jaws, but it sat on top, which a good visual check would have shown, but he'd done it every day, as we all do. He said he heard and felt a solid banging over bumps. Well, I would like to think that would have been enough warning. I know that I learned a thing or two about complacency.Quote:

Many years ago i saw a huge genset on a semi,tip over and fall off,on Coronation Dr,for those that know Brisbane.
It all happened in slow motion,luckily i could change lanes so i could miss it falling.
Coro Drive right next to the Brown Snake, you were lucky I knew a nice looking girl in school that had to wear a sling on her nerve damaged arm due a truck full of pipes next to the car she was in breaking free and falling on them.Quote:
