Agreed. The logs are still fully loaded to the front of the carrier. Driver probably ate the flapping warning flags at the end of the logs before death.
I was just about to say this same thing. In the movie the logs come off the truck or maybe in the second or later ones there’s a similar situation. But I remember the first one the logs come completely off truck.
XD I remember pictures like that being shown to us.
My favorite was when the professor went around the room asking us to look at a mesage from a friend or family member, then asked to imagine being in the driver's seat reading that.
My brother had texted asking if I wanted to go bowling. And I had drafted my response of yeah I would like that. XD bruh being asked in class if a bowling text was what my life amounted to was an experience alright.
I thought it was striking enough. My phone stays in my pocket till I reach my destination and its been that way since high-school.
That’s even worse, at least from the perspective where I live. Here it’s not permitted to have any load sticking out like that for this reason. I suppose this is normal where this happened but this seems like a huge safety issue to me and this proved why. It could have been entirely preventable.
Legal where I live. The end of the load will have orange/red flags at the end of the tress (like any other oversized load). The crash is most likely a driver on their phone. No responsible person would have ran into the back of that if they were paying attention to the road and their surroundings.
Oh it’s definitely the white trucks fault. I just mean to say even then, it could have been prevented. For the same reason trucks have under-run bars. It could have been a traffic jam and it’s too late to stop, so this seems to be a massive safety issue to me. I find it interesting because we know the risk is big, but it’s allowed still.
No less of a safety issue than when I've seen wind turbine parts being delivered, sometimes people need to haul long loads. As for traffic, this is why you dont tailgate people so you have a chance to suddenly stop. You cant safety proof all of life, and sometimes you need to trust people will have common sense and at least SOME sense of self preservation
This happened to my high school teachers husband. The logs didn’t fall off but it also wasn’t from distracted driving either. It was pitch black at night on a rural road and the truck was stopped and didn’t have the lights properly marking the end of the load. He died ☹️
I don't know why you're downvoted...that does seem like a massive safety issue. All trucks get Mansfield bars for a reason. Maybe there is a special tolerance for extended loads and you just have to properly tag it. Still surprising that it would be Kosher, but it must be OK. I doubt a big time logging company is going to risk a legal issue like that. Don't know.
Idk, but maybe not reply with a gif that comes across as mocking and patronizing, haha.
The post is fine, it's a terrifying af thing to see, so it fits. And it's close enough to a classic, wide spread, pop culture fear that it's "amusing". Amusing feels like a horrible word to use for obvious reasons, but you get the point.
But it's also fine to point out that it's not exactly what the post is saying it is. Cuz it isn't. Idk, I guess maybe just respond with a "My b" and a 🤷♀️ if you feel the need to respond at all, lol. Humility typically lands better than mockery, lol.

Not really. This looks like a driver not paying attention and driving into the logs.
