That joint does NOT looks like it's inspected by anyone with any actual expertise or regulatory authority. I think that's more a joke about all the anti-infrastructure people that came out of the woodwork to post about how "the I-40 bridge near Memphis is just fine and it's been fine for years with that giant crack! It gets inspected yearly!"

Ror posted:why don’t they just build trucks with a forklift on the back Princeton has almost 30 years of truck-mounted forklift experience. The basics are simple, but there are many details to cover to insure maximum productivity and safety. In general, almost any truck or trailer can be modified to carry a PiggyBack®. https://piggy-back.com/

Megillah Gorilla posted:Because then truckies would be using them on the highway. I passed two trailers like these on the interstate a few days ago hauling concrete beams.    There was someone in the rear compartment for both of them. I don't know if they lock the steering or the rear driver has to steer full time but it must be an interesting ride.

McCracAttack posted:drat, what a bad way to go. It's pretty thoroughly bad, but I think #1 worst way to go for me is still drowning in a pig poo poo lagoon. McCracAttack posted:It's a REALLY good "make things disappear" machine. https://www.youtube.com/user/ssishredders The catchphrase is "watch it shred" I remember stumbling across the channel when the "will it blend" fad happened, which both were probably mentioned in a previous thread iteration. There's also a poor edit video of a shredder disposing of cow carcasses, and someone did a semi-comedic job of mooing over the footage and PETA thought they were shredding live cows  haveblue posted:Looks like it. Without the forklift the right side of the trailer would have hit the corner It's possible; likely a three-point turn in the area off to the left. But if the truck is empty, it's nothing a forklift couldn't handle, and it saves the truck a whole two-five minutes making a carefully planned three point to get out of the place. Not standard, but one of those corners that gets cut to "get done faster."

Was torn between here and the schad thread, but given the utter lack of anything resembling safety precautions I figure y'all would enjoy it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oO226PgSkg So a man spends $200k creating a 1300hp Mercury comet. The steering doesn't work right, the throttle sticks, the gearbox can't downshift unless it's in park, it's leaking brake fluid, but that's not going to stop them taking it out for a test drive. After riding the (leaking) brake full time to compensate for the stuck throttle: https://i.imgur.com/LXMQp0G.mp4 It's got a 5 point harness but why put that on  quote:This is Russ, as I sat in the hospital for a couple days, I replayed everything in my head hundreds of times, things that I should have noticed as a warning, and what I could have done differently.

Why would you take your unique, expensive, completely untested hot rod out onto regular streets to test drive it? Why not, like, any track? I know the answer to this and similar questions is "more money than sense" but I still feel the need to ask it.

This video does an excellent job at showing exactly why you shouldn't do so.   https://i.imgur.com/i6GjwA1.png

Same goes for your legs. You should never be able to lock out your legs while pressing the pedals as hard as you physically can, with your back fully in the seat back. Way too many people sit too far away from the pedals and press with their tippy-toes.

Mimesweeper posted:could have driven off the side of the road instead of piling into some innocent person, too I think hitting an immobile object like a tree would have killed them. Or they might have hit a pedestrian at a parking lot. In a place like that and at that speed there aren't many good options, especially when you're panicking.
