Watch out for loose junk in your truck bed
You may have seen this story, but it is interesting -- someone left a ratchet strap in his truck bed. It eventually flew out and wrapped around his driveshaft, somehow, causing thousands of dollars ...

I guess I got lucky. I was using a ratchet strap to hold a box in the back of my truck, got on the freeway and I could see the loose end of the strap had come untied, I knew in five miles there was a rest stop but I only made it about one mile before I heard a loud bang. Yep it wrapped around the driveshaft and broke the strap it also damaged the truck box but nothing else was damaged.
