Holy crap. I hope everyone is okay. What happened to the axle? Did the wheel simply snap off?

I bet that was, ahem, exciting.

Noooooooo :o


on man, that's terrible. Hope that at least there were no other casualties.
I must say, your construction was solid, she held together through a full roll over. But thats a heck a a way to test it, very sorry for the loss of your rig :(

Gaston,

Sorry to hear about your trailer passing. I was lucky to see her in person just before her untimely end. Hope you are well otherwise.

Sorry that happened, I'm glad I got to see it in person at the first IRG and then again as we past you. I honked but you didn't hear me I don't think. It was after leaving the IRG we took the hwy that goes along the Smith river and you guy's were at a rest stop. Once again sorry that was a very nice trailer you built. :(

Wow, that really sucks. Glad everybody's OK though. Did the safety chains snap off? I thought they were supposed to keep the trailer attached to the tow rig in situations like this.
