Re: [RC] Another Horse Rig Accident - Sisu West Ranch

Possibly. Weight distributing hitch, would probably have helped.

It is very very common for folk to overcorrect when a skid, or sway happens. The result is a counter skid etc. Since they were slow to correct and then corrected to much the first time things get even worse the second time.

A number of years ago, there was a video sequence, taken I believe Atlanta, showing cars going around a slick corner and doing this. The TV video showed dozens of cars.

It is a failure of our driver's education process, that allows a person to get a license with no skidding practice.

Skids and sways with a trailer are 100% harder to control than just with a car.
