Best thing you can do is check all your connections before you take off, I find that a lot of people " don't have time" which is inexcusable, if you dot your I's and cross your T's by checking things out properly, at least you know you've done your best to prevent accidents like the above. Used to drive a truss trailer for a lumber yard 15 years ago, and one of the hardcore drunks, came into work after a good night of sloshing it up, mind you he looked almost sober, reeked of alcohol though I'm sure ( I never got close enough to get a whiff ! ) well he made a truss delivery, but on the way back, he rounded a corner and the telescopic type " Dump-D-Matic" type truss trailer ( made in Texas I believe ) un-telescoped I guess you could say, as the pins were set in the tubes to hold the trailer together came out of their holes, why?

We had several drunks in the yard, been there for years, best move I ever made was to get out of that place !
