Re: [A/S] Safety chains
Teri,
My wife picked up a trailer from a friend who was loaning it to me. It was
made from a shortbed pickup and she forgot to hook up the safety chains.
The trailer parted from the vehicle right in front of a bridge and several
blocks from the house. It ran off the road on the left hand side, hit a
small sign and stopped just short of the stream the bridge was over. It
cost me $200 to have the tongue rebuilt and I had to do a bit of bodywork.
I'm lucky no one was coming the other direction. I guess I can't blame her
because I assumed she knew to attach the chains.
