Yep, those are the stories! Unreal.

All good. Super hard dirt. I trust it. Only two feet past the requirement for trench plates.

What is scary is when you remove all the bolts and it won't drop. That's when bad stuff happens.

Jack's and dunnage and a lifting strap. Luckily when it dropped on my thumb it bounced and I pulled my thumb out.
