Be Safe

Professional OR Gung Ho.

A quick assessment of the laws of physics may indicate that the off angle pull would have incurred a transfer of forces/load, as it did.

I'm with the Gung Ho aspect with a bit of panic thrown in for good measure.

True the panic being the new truck and salt water do not mix

I am sure they will look back at this and say we made a mistake

Some times mistakes cost lives no matter how Gung Ho you are

So if some thing like this happened would you be covered by insurance ?

or would it depend on who you are with?

I reckon most insurance companies would cover you...unless of course you did it on purpose! It's probably classed as an "accident"...?

Be happy. Our insurance premiums are costed to include paying out the idiots, the too cheap to buy the right fridge, the illiterate who don't read instructions and the Darwin challengers.

They're bloody big tyres for an 80 series! Insurer would have knocked it back on those alone.
