Sway bars may have saved this rig.
News flash folks, any sway control only works to a certain point then they let go.
DC will break, Equal-I-zer will eventually slip past the friction point, even the mighty Hensley Arrow will break under the right conditions.
Fact of the matter is that the person behind the wheel is responsible for safe operation of the rig. A sway control device is not a license to drive crazy. And even if everything is right stuff still happens.
Sway bars, DC, Hensley etc perform great but if you are relying on any device to make bad driving habits better they simply will not work. The only thing that improves bad driving habits is the determination of the driver.
Thanks,
