Thanks for posting. This came up in my ride group last trip as we noticed that sometimes one of the top ramp hooks was jumping up and off the deck. It was just for a short time, but enough to show we were getting into a bad situation.

I do agree that loading our sleds is one of the most dangerous parts of the entire riding day.

We also had one sled drive into the back of a tilt-deck trailer, because the guy holding the back end of it down slipped and fell right as the rider was approaching the deck. Ended up crushing his bumper and breaking a tail light on the trailer. That one could have been worse, too.

Hope something comes from her persistent efforts.

They are death traps. My wife ran into the side of my deck full speed one night. Surprised it didnt split her head wide open

Sad story for sure but sounds like alot of good came out of a really amazing person.
Sorry for their loss and it's great they can see the positive when it's the darkest time .

Wear your phuckin helmets when you load and unload. I've seen some of you guys ride, you're not as good as you think myself included.

Sad story for sure, but the last thing we need is more frigging regulations. How about we all just take responsibility for our own actions? You're an adult.....make sure your ramp is secure. If you don't, then be prepared for the consequences.
