Default Good Trailer Safety Chains Pay OFF

Check the chains, check the connection points... safety chains are ignored WAY too often.

Yep, complete miracle that those chains, and welds, held.

I am in awe that the hooks held... I have forged hooks on the trailers but those look like bent S hooks.

That was insane! I saw it on the news. I couldn't image being in that truck as it went over and then stopped. It's right out of a movie.

That looks to me that Only one original chain was holding it.
