To all you commenting that a rack couldn't have stopped this....a heavy duty headache rack COULD have stopped this accident. It's happened to me personally when I was a rookie driver, I had a rack bolted to the frame with 8 bolts and it stopped a load of casing on the interstate at 70mph when some idiot cut me off. Yeah, I didnt have it secured tight enough but then again, I was a new driver so I didnt know any better. Its the company's fault for not properly equipping their trucks.

I rive for Peben Oil Field And when I loadup I use 3 belly wraps and allways use more than the legal requirement of straps .. What this is is my nightmare.. Ive been driving 34 years with out a mishap, this is the only thing about this job that I worry about,,

Check some of my vids to see where I travel in my work. Most of my driving is off road going rioght to the leases to deliver all sizes of casing and drill stem

I got news for all of you! Whoever made this video lied to all of y'all. First off this happened on hwy6 between iredell and meridian in bOSQUe county TEXAS!!! and 2nd off.... the driver DID SURVIVE!!!! I wad on screen when this happens. The only info correct in this video is about proper load tie down.

Those are some extreme photos. I didn't think pipe could slike like that if it was strapped down. I haul water myself, so I don't have to worry about pipe, but this does open my eyes to what can happen if not propperly secured.

at 36 seconds you can see the remains of the headboard that was bolted to the fram of the tractor. I will pray for the family of this driver.

@MisterBlue24 hey man, when the load isnt strapped down correctly, its not only the drivers life at risk, but the cars around you too.

[CumminsCrazedredneck]

that is why you need to buy a headache rack for a flat bead. i know a guy who had a load of glass on his kenworth and the load wasnt secured properly so when he went around a bend, the straps broke and the glass fell on a woman driving a convertible. she was shredded severely and killed instantly. so yes, proper load security is extremely important and life saving.
