Where part of the problem was there being 7 parking lots and the cops only taking 11 minutes to try to find him, but when he called back with the specific color and model of the van he was in the operator never responded or passed on the information.

It's true, but the average output of a horse over the course of a day is actually quite close to 1 horsepower. That's actually how a horsepower was first determined - by measuring how much power an average horse could put out through the course of a working day. A horse, or a human for that matter, can put out considerably more than 1 horsepower for a short time.

Most humans can't reach that point and no human can put out "considerably" more than 1hp. Olympic athletes at peak exertion can get up to like 1500 watts (2hp) for a few seconds at a time but what most people consider vigorous exercise is like 200-250W (1/3hp) maybe.

World tour cyclist sprinters can absolutely crank out more than 1500 watts for more than a few seconds. Even some lower level pro sprinters can crack 2000 watts here is the US national amateur crit champion Justin Williams peaking at 1900 watts and keeping it above 1500 for about 5 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnIOty0PPIs Top pro sprinters can go for more peak power and for longer Hell, I am a garbage level cyclist and I can crack 1200 watts (1.6hp) for a few seconds in a sprint

I read that Chris Hoy could do 2500 watts peak for those super short track sprints. Which, based on his legs, seems plausible...

I assume rowers have comparable or even higher output since they're using more of their body: https://peakcentre.wordpress.com/2009/01/20/peak-power-the-limiting-factor-to-rowing-performance/

Track cycling has funny stuff where lots of laps in a race are about positioning and they only actually sprint all-out for like 10 seconds, so they can peak super high without much endurance elements.

Seems that dude in the pickup with the horse trailer was taking up way too much road, I can understand the driver being pissed. Backing up to continue the argument, though? Yah nah, mate

I remember in my high school physics class, we grabbed stopwatches, metersticks, and weighed volunteers. We then timed the volunteers running up a fight of stairs and saw who could break a horsepower. A couple guys did.

This sure looks fun, that guy's totally hosed up mount/tiedown situation, combined with this problem: If it holds maybe not so bad since the truck is over the axles of the trailer, won't hold tho.

That’s kinda what happens when untrained people fight a civil war. The ones who don’t die get some on the job training and figure out what is and isn’t a terrible idea.

This one really gets me. I'm no engineer but it just seems that the forces on these pieces are going to be well in excess of what they can handle (and exerted in different directions than where they do have strength). These can't be off the shelf parts, right? Someone had to weld up this abomination?

They’re off the shelf, just used wrong. The lift on the hitch there is intended for a tall truck and is being used upside down. The trailer is a bog standard fifth wheel and is supposed to go on a ball in the middle of the truck bed right over the axle, that’s why it has the big up-and-over profile on the tongue.

My grandfather was killed by a runaway trailer carrying a car, which was connected improperly and didn't have tow chains. It came off the truck, crossed lanes, and totaled the truck carrying my grandfather and brother. My brother spent three months in the hospital with broken legs and pelvis. This person towing this abomination should have his license and insurance revoked.
