That huge exhaust pipe made him go airborne  Safety chains weren’t stopping that boat from leaving the trailer, it had a destiny to fulfill..

When rolling coal goes wrong. I’m just curious if he sounded his train horn before impact?

Hope nobody was hurt, but I bet that was something to see happening. A boat toss.

Wonder if that's something else other than safety chains?

There was a time when that kind of statement would enrage a couple of Yeti zealots on here.

Looks like Texas plates, did you take that photo? Saw it on Facebook Major Accident (Fort Worth) Crash on southbound I35W near Alliance Gateway Freeway. Expect heavy delays in the immediate area. Thanks to @NHETexas76 on Twitter for the photo.
Update - FWPD say the driver was uninjured and did not require medical attention.

That had to be a show when that happened.

I’m betting that’s the trip home from the lake.

With the shot the roof took it probably messed up his flat brim hat and knocked his white Oakley's off.

If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?

Those nylon straps wouldn't matter with that type of impact. I am thinking his mirrors weren't extended out far enough.

That boat came off the trailer. You can see where it hit the truck and turned it into a taco shell.
I can tell you from personal experience, the scariest day of my life was losing a boat trailer off my truck and seeing it smash into a guard rail. Luckily no one died that day.
