No, not the cause of the near accident, but a result of the near accident.
Too much speed going into the turn, resulting in too much brake, resulting in centrifugal (?) slosh of the load, resulting in excessive pucker force being exerted on the pressurized brown o-ring on the vehicle operator, resulting in violent blow out of brown o-ring.

When I left nursing I got a job at Airgas where my friend was the dispatch manager and because I already had a class A CDL I was hired to drive liquid O2 tankers(I had a CDL because I drove school bus to pay for my initial nurse schooling, I kept it current) You learn early on how to drive liquid and semi-liquid loads... That cement truck driver I am sure soiled his shorts, trousers, socks and boots with that dance...
ReplyDeleteAfter all I wrote about it in the post, I neglected to note that after his initial screw-up with the excessive speed going into the turn, he did a worthy job of getting it straightened out and back on the road.
DeleteBut when he got home, I'm sure his old lady made him strip down outside and hose down, lol.
