How "NOT" to load an ATV (video)

YouTube - Charlie's Accident

Poor Charley...he had the deck stacked against him from the start. Looks like it was a new ATV. No doubt the 1st attempt to take it out in his pickup truck with his little cooler and "rootbeer" in it.

I can't beleive that !
This guy didn't even have his chains on his ramps hooked to the things the tailgate locks to.
That had to hurt !!!...A.H

Not sure what those spikes are either dangling down. Apparently to stabilze the ramp but they actually made it worse as far as I can tell.

I used to load my machines that way (ramp tied down of course) and only once did I have the ramp sort of shift or lurch to left. My machines were around 1000 pounds too and I finally just got a nice trailer and so much easier now.

Poor poor Charlie...the laughing stock of the Internet. Looks like he got crushed pretty good.

And that folks, is why you buy a trailer with a drop gate.

killer I've got a nice traylor, but I took the floor and wireing out of it 2 years ago and have only replaced the wireing.
I really prefer Tri-fold ramps to drive up into the bed of my truck because theres several trucks parked where we park to hunt.
The traylor would be hard to manuver.

That's gonna leave a mark.
