Took off at 5am to ride shotgun with a buddy as he went to pick up a new project vehicle.We loaded it and I watched as he chained it down,asked why no second chain up front as a back up.He replied no need,hauled many cars and knew what he was doing.I shrugged and said ok.Made it 5 miles into a town where the front chain(spindly and light duty) snapped and the vehicle rolled 3/4's of the way off the back of the trailer.Only thing that kept it from rolling completely off was the chain in the back held.Wish I had brought a camera along although I was happy we werent doing 70 on the interstate.We all have probably hauled stuff that wasnt properly secured and this incident showed that correct equipment and a second manner of retraint is needed.We were lucky...I'm posting this as a reminder to do things right.
