[QUOTE="DAMAGAN, post: 1735204, member: 24846"] I was riding in the back seat of an up-armored hummer doing some driver training and we lost a $300,000 DRASH trailer becasue nobody stuck the pin through the pintle hook or hooked the safety chains on the truck. It bounced off and was like a 3,300 pound lead sled about 100 feet down a roadway through an intersection across a dirt access road and jumped a 6 foot culvert where the tongue stuck in the ground just before the big A/C unit on the front smacked a tree. Worst part was I was the highest ranking person in the vehicle so guess who's fault it was, best part was the guy setting in the front seat's reaction and the fact that nobody was around to get hurt and damage wasn't too bad mostly the aluminium jack pad. He replied to my "what's that noise?" with a look in the mirror then a calm and steady "Yep, we just lost the trailer.......Better turn around...." All I could do was laugh and hope that the pintle on the truck was ripped off so we werent the guys that didnt check the trailer before we left the motorpool. [/QUOTE]
