THE HIGHWAY — Transporting large items from Point A to Point B has always been a challenge. For example, you and your friends might be able to lift the piano that's currently in the basement, but how are you going to get it into the third-floor apartment that you're moving to?
I actually know someone whose company is dedicated to moving large things. How large? Oh, they sometimes transport space shuttles. They have to chart a course where their massive loads won't collide with overpasses and other obstacles. It's a mind-blowingly complicated process, and it must be so fun for his team to watch it all unfold successfully.
While my friend is an expert, there are people who have no business moving large items. Like the driver in this video.
That ATV looks like it's about the same size as the car toting it. And it's only being held in place with a few tie-downs. Ugh. This is equal parts stupid and dangerous.
How did they even get it up there in the first place? Did they lean a ramp on the back of the car? Whatever method they used, I'm sure it didn't follow any engineering best practices.
Let's use this video as a reminder to please be careful with the loads we take out on the road. Make sure they're the right size for your vehicle. And please, please, please, use enough straps to secure them against even the strongest wind.
