2: Ramp not locked. Wheel spin when front tire hit trailer, caused the ramp to drop flipping tractor on side. Bad outcome.
This one I've actually done some years back,, while loading my parents 15 hp. lawn tractor into the bed of my pickup truck. Folding aluminum ramps,, and me being in a hurry. Needless to say, rear wheels spun, and yanked the ramp right out from under me, as the rear wheels were almost over the tailgate lip. It flipped backwards with me under it. All I can say is wow !! Nearly $@#$ my drawers on that one. Before I knew it, I was laying on my back in a gravel driveway, with a 5 or 6 hundred pound tractor on me. I managed to roll it off to the side,, cutting the **** out of my leg in the process. Now,, I pay attention to the ramps !!!
