      I wouldn't doubt it.

      My brother sent it to me on FB, said this was tonight (well, Sunday night), so I guess it's out there. Imagine the ride home in the hauler after.

        It happened to Erb Jr at Clarksville several years ago. They dropped one car on top of the car that was already unloaded.

          It happen to Francis in 99 at world 100 I believe it was. He went and won the race afterwards. Done nothing but bend the bumper and a lil bit of body.

                    I'm assuming on this one they just lowered the lift gate?

                      I was with Erb 10 or so years a go in fl speed weeks he had his old truck then were the inside back came down on a angle.. The cable Brock and Dennis was behind the car jumped in the air. The car came out so fast he landed on the hood.. It rolled 20 foot and hit a friend of his car.. Glad I was beside the car cause I cant jump that high...

                          I cringe every time I see cars being loaded in those type of trailers, especially after the races when people are hanging around watching. I can't help but think it looks like an accident waiting to happen. But looking at it percentage wise, incidents like these are very rare if you consider how many cars are loaded successfully on a weekly basis. I believe Mike Bechelli was hurt way back when (sometime around 2000) in an accident like these. If I recall correctly (I didn't see it myself), he was having to load up in a hurry due to weather coming (a tornado near Danville, IL) and when the car fell it took him with it. I believe he still races some so he is okay. Scary though!
