How to not set right an overturned truck

[olds]

Let's take up a PayPal collection so I can fly off to fagville and punch Mike Gayner right in the wise and beautiful woman.

It was a great idea poorly executed. All the loader had to do was keep pressure against the side until they chocked the wheels. Releasing physical contact was a mistake.

Or here's an idea. Put a bunch of railroad ties in front.

Or at the very least have somebody in the cab ready to apply the brakes.:hmm:

Or just have someone climb in and cut the engine before flipping it upright?

He's from Canada.

Fucking awesome.

I think it just drifted. The brakes were probably shot(and driveshaft/transmission broken?), so other than being in gear, there was no way to brake it.

Likely there was nothing wrong with the brakes at all. he tipped it over and shut the engine off, and climbed out with both the trailer and tractor brakes still released, while cleaning out his underwear.
The system did not leak down so that thing was "ready to roll" when it was turned upright. I noticed all the air was leaking out after the second wreck!

And to think I thought I was the only one.

So having someone climb in the cab and turn the ignition off before putting it upright wouldn't make sense? :hmm:

Nevermind, I see what you're saying now that I actually absorbed what you said. You're probably right ^_^

I'm saying it was probably already off. Are you seeing something I'm not?

Nope, I'm just an idiot who posts before he reads at times.

That's the thing with 3rd world countries. What seems like a fine idea turns into a nightmare. "let's right 40K+ pounds of tractor trailer, what's the worst than can happen?"

I've been to a lot of 3rd world countries and safety is not really even considered.

This thread serves as an inspiration for all.

From the thread title I expected this video. I'm not sure which is the bigger failure, though...

Hmmm, interesting that Gayner got banned in the other thread and not this one. Oh well.

I've been kinda hoping that he would change from being a douche troll to a reasonable poster (love you GA ), but it seems he's too much of an idiot.

Canada?

Canada!

It's Chile you fucking genius - not exactly third world. Then again, I think any brown people who don't speak English are considered third world to most brilliant minded Americans.

I think he's from Canada.

Already there's another option

Was that a Toyota truck?

1. Flash can be used to store data about you. I don't trust Adobe because of how low key they are about the privacy and don't want any of their software installed on my computer if I can help it.
2. They don't have a 64-bit plug-in for Windows, which means I have to switch to a 32-bit browser when I want to watch Flash.
3. Performance not that great

Once I discovered the above issues I realized how dependent everyone is on the proprietary format that is Flash. If people have issues with Adobe or their software (e.g., wanting to use a 64-bit browser in Windows), they can't do anything about it, just have to hope Adobe does something about it. Why support Adobe's dominance of content creation and formats? They aren't doing anything that can't be done with open formats (like HTML5).

Try to go a week with Flash disabled or uninstalled and you'll see how many sites depend on this 1999 technology. Can't stand it when I go to a restaurant/bar/club's website and can't see shit because it requires Flash.
