Saw a heart stopper a while back. Was working in the pasture behind the house, and looked up to see a septic tanker truck pulling a trailer with a tractor/backhoe on it. As I watched the trailer and truck parted company, and the truck continued on. Trailer slid on down the road, bounced off the embankment at the side of the road, back thru the ditch, and ended up in the ditch further down. Must have slid 300 yards. How that rig didn"t upset, I"ll never know. Tractor was OK, they backed it off the trailer and drove it home. Trailer lost a wheel, damaged axle, and the front caster wheel. Seemed they forgot to latch the pintle hitch - pulled it over 30 miles that way before they hit a splice in the pavement (quite a bounce.) and truck and trailer parted company. No safety chains, no brakes on trailer. Thot that was a little careless! Must have been going 50mph or more. They were awful lucky!
