Alot of good info and what ifs here. to me it comes down to this, yes theres alot you can do to make it more safe in our trucks. But when it comes down to it to me its all "chance", you drive home in your well protected truck or car, decide its a nice day for a motorcycle ride and stop at the same intersection you were just at in your safe vehicle and get rear ended. or you just left the hardware store with 20, 10 foot lengths of 1 1/4 inch black pipe in your truck with all the latest and greatest safety gadgets and someone cuts into your lane and hits you head on... all that pipe is going through the box, gastank, and you..STUFF HAPPENS, most you can prevent but not all. Boy, after reading my "what ifs" I think I'm going to lock myself in my bedroom and pull the covers over my head, see you guys later...
