At the risk of sounding insensitive, would the driver be the kind of person that would answer a few pointed questions? Did a front tire fail? In order to learn something that would help save me from losing control of my motorhome in the event of a blown tire, I would like to know exactly how he reacted the instant he knew the tire failed.
The photos indicated that the driver did not perform any of the first 3 steps in the procedure that has been discussed on these forums many times. It sure makes me curious.
Am I the only one who would love to hear answers to these questions from someone who survived this type of accident?
Well, at least we know this one was not caused by a tire older than 5 years.
Agreed I would like to know as well. Also, did they have a steering stabilizer? I have a SteerSafe and if they had one I would be interested in knowing if they had something like that.
How fast were they traveling? We have had conversations on these forums about 'proper' speeds to go and I, for one, never exceed 60mph and I am curious on the speed they were going when this happened.
Is this the report about the accident?
LINKIf so, then it was a front tire blow-out.
