Always got to be someone being a a$$. Still a bad idea and wait until
so water/snow get on bed under it and freezes and then it will really
want to skid and them how about a hard 400 to 500 lb ice block
slamming into back of cab in a wreck. No thank you. Sure sand bag can
slide but they are soft and not one piece.

If it makes a difference, and I think it might, my bed liner is of the
'non-slip' variety, so I'd be inclined to think that once this bladder
is filled and frozen, its not going anywhere. Keep in mind, too, that
the center of gravity on it is very low, maybe 4 inches high at best,
so that should also contribute to it's stability. For what its worth, I
 think that in today's litigous society, something like this would have
to be put to an 'acid' test before being put onto the market, so most
scenarios like those mentioned in this thread would've been addressed.

The bag forms around the wheel wells so it won't slide out.  I have a
fork lift so lifting that weight wouldn't be a problem but it doesn't
look like the bag is meant to hoisted up when full.  Anyway, I'd still
rather have a half dozen bags of sand that are easy to handle and are
useful for traction.

Now all these other people say it's going to be sliding all over the place.
If that's the case, just untie it and hit the gas.  There, out.

Nah, if your going to tail gate it do it right, its back up and hit the
brakes hard.
