[QUOTE="Jbonnot03, post: 1226958, member: 22745"] I worked at a sale ring during college. Too many stories to tell. One of the worst that happened was a guy loading some heifers...They ran onto the trailer at full speed, hit the front then immediately turned back. All that force caused the pickup to roll forward 4 feet or so. A couple went right back where they came from, but a couple made a U turn at the back of the trailer and got hit on the highway. Worst thing is the guy driving said this had happened to him before. (Standard truck in neutral with the engine running and park brake set). Lesson for the day-Park brake set with vehicle in park or standard in gear and engine off. The only way I will load cattle now. Seen this one twice...Truck and trailer going down road and cattle bailing out the back with gate open. Also had a buddy cross some RR tracks and his back gate came open and his horse stepped out. Ended up losing the horse and saddle. Lesson-ALWAYS tie your trailer gate. ALWAYS!!! Did I mention to ALWAYS TIE YOUR TRAILER GATE. [/QUOTE]
