Interesting vid. Should they be strong enough to bend, or is a rigid frame better? Frame Flex Vid

Has anyone here or anywhere had trouble with their tailgate because Ford uses a C channel chassis? I've never heard anyone complain of this other than some goons on a Youtube video deliberately trying to damage a truck. I'm more concerned about the Ram's crappy little dried up ball joints and iffy AAM rear axle than I am about a tried and proven C channel chassis that can be flexed if loaded to the max and driven up on properly placed offset ramps as if that's normal every day occurrences.
Why yes.
Driving a heavy loaded 3/4 Ford through some blow sand (following a Dodge) I got stuck and the frame tweaked sideways and lengthways. I could not open the door and had to climb out the window - the tail gate was jammed shut so hard that it would not open.
The Dodge backed up and pulled me out.
