Ok, sorry, but this reminds me of two stories. One, a guy I went to HS with down the street, I was over at his house one day and the passenger side of his father's car was all smashed up, I asked him what happened and he said a load of bricks fell off a truck that was driving next to him on the highway. And a few years later a friend's roomate told me that his brother was driving behind a car carrier on the highway and a car rolled off the upper deck and fell on the road in front of him, and he figured he was dead, but the car bounced up in the air, went over him, and landed on the car behind him and killed the guy. I don't know if we believe that second one, but I have always been wary of flatbeds (and car carriers) since then, and I guess this thread just bears out that concern.
