New Blue Ox Bed Saver

Good Grief! Why does all of this remind me of my grandkids arguing. It's no wonder more people don't share there experiences on this forum. I'm thick skinned and really don't care what anybody's opinion is of why I do what I do. I personally choose to follow directions and that very simply is the reason the handle was pinned in the open position exactly as the instructions were written. I simply shared my experience of what happens when distracted in hopes that it would help someone else that was less experienced. I've learned from my exprience as well as from others on here that have shared theirs I didn't expect to have as many comments and insinuations as I have seen in this thread or the other one. Accidents do happen and if sharing my experience helps someone, it has served it's purpose. As others have stated, I am human and humans do get distracted and make mistakes sometimes. Why do I follow instructions? I work in the chemical industry and not following instructions and procedures can cost someone there life. Same as when I was in the Marines, don't follow instructions and procedures and someone could die. Forums are to share experiences, not argue about how perfect or imperfect we are. As for me, I get no enjoyment out of reading this junk anymore and seriously wonder why I care to even share my experiences or come on here anymore. To the OP, sorry this stuff happens. That looks like a good investment and I have seriously considered one for my B&W hitch, even if it's not needed.
