This isn't being hauled or towed wrongly (yet?), but it's a good illustration for something that's come up on this board before - securing your load, especially when hauling boulders, as it shows what happens to the vehicular stability when the load shifts and you're already in a turn:
That bolder reminds me of when I ran loader and I would "teach" the drivers to listen to me when I told them where to park to get loaded.
Rocked a few drivers in the cab with the bucket load dropped from all the way up.

OK, I have to share how 16FT cattle panels are loaded and hauled 16 miles from Tractor Supply to the farm using just - - - a minivan.
From the front windshield and out the back end. I had the senior bike flag mounted on the tail end.
The truck and trailer were not available, so I have to improvise. Redneck engineering. LOL
There are 8 panels in there too.
The straps are PARACORD, farm grade.

I can appreciate the effort and ingenuity in what was done here. I also am thinking that someone let their desires override their common sense. A lack of concern for their on saftey and others on the road would seem to be a issue also.

Yeah, I don't think many parachutes use that stuff. That's just rope.
