This was actually under edited and long winded for the small bit of material here. This could have easily been summarized in just 2 minutes. I suppose if you're not familiar with this information, it might have been entertaining enough but I had to skip through, only to find they never got to the meat and potatoes of the experiment yet.

@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism Right, 8+ minutes of various manufactured scenes to get to a pretty simple experiment, which actually if done right I'm interested in the results. But I swear find me a continuous scene that's longer than like 3-4 seconds in duration. Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. Makes me stressed out trying to watch it, that's what I mean by over editing. Whatever this "style" of TV production is, with only semi-real interactions but the hosts, it's so played out and generic. This will only last a season or two for lack of viewership and they'll all be scratching their heads wondering why. The idea is cool, Tory brings the legacy, but bring it down to earth. I actually pay for MTOD ha. Not everything they offer is good, but the classics are still great and the motorsports content is worth it.

Not worth paying for its really boring 😴

And the yt channel is all the setup without the payoff. Might have to unsub.

Not paying.

Same.

Maybe some of them. This one was more of you go on a date and as a heaven's blessing she goes home very early.

This. I came to the comments to find out if accelerating works or not…

It does work. It’s not the safest way. Use trailer brakes if available

Accelerating stops the sway in the immediate term, but then you're at a higher speed and therefore less stable. Probably a good strategy for buying the time to reach over and squeeze the trailer brake lever.

same with mototcycles. if front tire starts wobbling, speed up to straighten it

Doesn't take a trained genius to figure out that if the tail of the trailer has moved to the side, out of alignment with the car, and you brake, the tail of the trailer will want to continue forward from the side, passing the slowing car and causing a wreck. It's inertia. That's just common sense. But there isn't too much of that left anymore.

@@boyracer3477 true that bro

@@boyracer3477yes because the trailer doesn’t have brakes

@@Xian.. That's a good point. I can pull a trailer (I have a 4 wheeled boat trailer) but I'm not skilled. That is a good reminder. Thanks

Rick Ashcroft Didn't know such a thing existed. Thanks.

He almost had it, but nope

Sometimes you're just a Tory in a China shop

He was always the dumb one. Grant and Kari were great. Scottie .... eeh .... just filler. Sorry Grant died so young.

the Sure ... I've seen many average sized trucks but have never seen an under sized boat.

Are you suggesting that an engineer or an experienced welder with actual experience in motorsports or building safety cages for industrial equipment should have been involved? Trying to put some of the cast out of a job? Pretty bigoted, bro.

You do realize that weight distribution changes with a slope right?

@@absolutium MIGHT change the slope. Also, irrelevant to my comment

@@claytonmuirhead2722 As an engineer im compelled to inform you.. that weight distribution is essentially the only factor that matters a proper balance makes the difference between having sway at 60kph or at 120kph.. even if windspeed is exactly the same.

@@absolutium Which STILL has no relevance to my comment. IF you actually are an engineer you should change careers before you get someone killed.

@@claytonmuirhead2722 Your comment states that wind causes the problem.. have you seen how wind affects an 18 wheeler? What's the difference you notice?

Exit ramp? Or emergency/runoff ramp?? You haven't known fear until you start searching for the next runoff...

@@ltmundy1164 It was the Exit ramp.

It happened to me once when I was 18 or 19. I hit the gas and it seemed to make it worse, though I think if I would have given it a few seconds I would have pulled out of it. In my case it was going downhill that would get it started. It swayed a bit a couple of times on small hills, then I started down a bigger hill (not big, just bigger, I'm in Illinois), and I finally realized that it was the trailer trying to pass going downhill, but I figured it out too late for my inexperience and the straps broke and the car ended up in the ditch. If I would have stayed in the gas (and it worked) then I could have slowed down going up the next hill.

Steve: Proper weight distribution. Keeping the center of mass above/slightly forward of the axle prevents rearward leverage against the hitch. Improper loading amplifies any external forces: Sudden steering/braking inputs or slipstream/wake from passing commercial trucks. Aviation analogies: Avoid being the single engine aircraft behind the 'heavy' on approach/departure path. Or the 737 charter, missing tail stand support during offload. Stationary tail strike/forward gear 3m off the tarmac. (Boeing 737-900 UAL2509 LAX-LWS 17Sep2021)
