Lucy broke her leg while jumping off the back of my flatbed truck a few months back. She stuck her front leg through one of the bed rail slots and then jumped off. It was a pretty bad break and I felt just awful with her dangling by her broken leg yelping. She recovered nicely and I got the bed rail slots fixed the next day. A few bucks in lumber and I could have avoided this train wreck. It never hurts to take a second look at your gear and vehicles and think “Is this a safe way to do this”? or “How can I make this safer”?
