Friend is so fortunate!
Our friend was hooking up his 38' Carriage Cameo to come see us and he dropped the 5th wheel on his Ford F350 dually. The big problem was that his right hand was on the bed and the 5th wheel landed on...

Glad to hear no broken bones, hope the tissue heals fine.
Not sure I understand how one drops the 5er while hooking up.
Driver (assumed) out of TV landing gear up, hitch not latched either the 5er or TV needed to move.
Once again wishing your friend a fast and complete recovery!
That's pretty much what happened. He admits he was in a hurry and negligent. Landing gear was up, did not latch properly, and he was on some kind of an incline. The 5th wheel rolled back and fell onto the truck.
