They shouldn't be allowed to pull around double trailers like that. Accident waiting to happen...and it did in this case. Too unstable.

There's nothing wrong with double trailers if they are fully pre-trip inspected and driven properly. That sure is wild, though!
pgh_medic, you're right, built Ford tough!

Thats not a double trailer it`s a single trailer being towed with a converter dolly.

In a curve like that, it's easy to turn just about any trailer over. You have to watch your speed and following distance, so you don't have to brake too hard in the turn when the moron in front of you hard brakes for no apparent reason.
