Flipp'd 'er on the Deerfoot...

Wow, the things that were going through this guys head. (pens, paper, pop cans, glass, metal, asphalt) and then imagine what was going through his head during the crash!

Some people think trailer safety and vehicle weight rating are bit of a joke. While this truck may have been 'sort of' in control at 50kph, the physics of the car and trailer that is too heavy tend to take over at highway speeds. I assume this guy tried to slow down quickly or change lanes, and the trailer just decided to try and pass him. Very lucky the trailer stayed attached.

Here is a quick synopsis of this situation

- 2005 Ford Ranger 4x4 weighs 4064lbs

- Factory rated truck towing capacity is 2339lbs

- The 1991 Ford Thunderbird weighs 4318lbs

- The car hauler trailer weighs 2000lbs

- Total trailer weight is 6318lbs

6318lb is 3979lbs over weight to safely tow behind this vehicle. It's a wonder he didn't kill someone. Notice the bungee cord holding the car on the trailer as well.
