You know when you smash a beer can flat on your head? Then toss them in the back of your pickup!! Them things are ruthless at 65mph.
Windy as #@$% today and I met a pickup on the highwayand out comes this UFO right for my head! Next consern was the bike, no, not the fairing! At the last moment it flies downward and wack! in the shin [:@]Sucker hurt like hell and drew blood! Glad it never got my forehead! Please clean out your trucks!!

 

FOD hurts. Ask me how I know...

 

How do you know?

I agree. I know a guy that drives with all kinds of loose light weight crap in his pickup bed. Mostly squashed cans, too!!! I clean it out and yell at him every time he stops by. It motivates him to clean, but he gets lazy often.

 

A man was killed round here when a ladder from a pickup infront of him flew through his windshield last year. Makes me stay away as much as possible with all the construction going on from hurricanes 3 yrs ago. Popo finally getting on the sanford and son types.

 

I hate construction trucks. They always have loose gravel or other loose crap that bounces down the road towards me. Gauranteed if it doesn't hit a painted part it ends up in my leg!

Worst I had was a long handled spade that came off the back of a flatdeck on the interstate. Shovel wasdoing a flat spin and I was already deciding which patch of grass I was going to ditch in, when it straightened out and went in the ditch. I tried to chase down the truck but he turned off somewhere.

People, tie your stuff down or clean it out!
