When I was about 9 or 10 years old I found a bottle rocket with no stick in my yard that had not gone off. I put it horizontally on my porch railing and tried to light what was left of the fuse. It didn't light but the fuse was glowing. I blew on that motherfucker like the big bad wolf in the 3 little pigs fairy tale.

It took off and singed my eyelashes together and burned my eyebrows off. Amazingly no skin damage just hair.

Sure did. In the context of the thread, the bottle rocket I lit off was smaller than a tube of chapstick.

Ol' boy took a full on Saturn V Rocket to the face. At least he didn't spill his drink.

Ha timely posts on the rocket fail as I had my own this weekend. Second flight of my Estes Big Daddy rocket on an E motor and the chute did not deploy. That sucker came down nose first from 900' and lawn darted into the frozen ground. I'm sure glad it didn't come down on my truck :eek: that nose cone plastic is a lot thicker than I thought!

I started to do that loading a buddy's backhoe. his trailer and my truck. got halfway up the ramps and the pin unloaded and truck starts sliding. FIL goes running after the truck, thankfully I had sense enough to throw the shuttle in R and back off the ramp before it did that to my truck. :homer:

The entire truck and trailer slide, no matter it the tires are locked/chocked. Them gravels is slippery.

If the incline plus the gravel plus the weight of the combo is enough to make it all slide then why doesn't the truck slide down the hill once the backhoe is on it? :stirthepot:

Just remember fuckos, all these fires, crashed, collapses and other stupid shit in this thread. I have actually done them. I just have enough sense not to post the videos or brag about my dumbassness.

Bragging abput the dumb shit you do is like 80% of the fun of doing the dumb shit. Then you get to laugh with friends.

I have loaded a ton of stuff.

The ramps are down. He was loading and the rear got too light. I bet it wouldn't have moved if the front tires couldnt turn.

If the trailer brakes were locked up, maybe.
All the force, when loading a trailer isn't just down, it's transmits some forward forces on the tow vehicle as well.

It might not have ended up the way that goof did, but I bet it'd move a lil bit on ya. Enough to make you pinch your cheeks and reevaluate what you're doing.

I live in the land of steep hills and snow. I have had the back end come off the ground or get light enough to slide many times.

A 4wd tractor shouldn't push the tow rig much if any.

So all 4 tires locked up on the truck and it just slides away? I dont think so.

I almost learned this lesson the hard way loading a buddies broken jeep onto my trailer.

The only thing keeping it from sliding down the hill was the other jeep we were using to winch the broken one onto the trailer. Once the trailer became a fulcrum, the truck started dragging everything down the hill.
 
Saw the guy unloading a bobcat in front of my house nearly do that

It’s on a hill and he backed off and got the rear wheels of the truck light enough that it started sliding downhill and Jack knifing .

He drove back up on the trailer quickly , and got it stopped , about six inches from a fire hydrant and with the trailer about three inches from smashing the pickup .

I also did it loading a 76 k-10 pickup onto a U haul car toter trailer

Almost smashed my expedition into a building .
