I'll bet that mattress didn't see the type of action she thought it would! 
also worth pointing out that you shouldn’t try and hold down a king sized mattress in the back of a pickup truck going 50 mph ….especially the day before your weddinghttps://www.kplctv.com/2024/06/07/b...ttress-falls-truck-50-mph-day-before-wedding/

Just a reminder for new owners that you should never ride in the back of a trailer or fifth wheel while it’s being towed.
Just read about a poor woman who fell out the door of a airstream today while on her way to see the eclipse.

I rode motorcycles for years, never desired to be an organ donor so always wore my full face helmet and protective gear and thought it was a major mistake when the bright boys in Indianapolis thought making bare headed riding legal was a good idea.
While I don’t really care about helmet laws one way or another, I have always ridden with one as have all my passengers.
“ In 2021, the NHTSA estimated that helmets saved 1,872 motorcyclists' lives, and that 749 more would have survived if all motorcyclists had been wearing helmets. ”
“ Statistics make it abundantly clear that helmets save lives. In 2016, a total of 5,286 motorcyclists died in crashes. Of those who died, helmets could have as many of 1,859 of them.”
Two different sources, take your pick.
I believe adults have the right to make their mind up whether to wear a helmet or not when riding. I always suggest the helmet test.
Step 1. Go to a brick wall and hit your head against the wall. Consider how your head feels.
Step 2. Put on your helmet and repeat hitting your head on the wall. Consider how your head feels.
If you can't tell the difference, you do NOT need to wear a helmet.
Went ocean to ocean twice on my Triumph. Always rode with full face helmet. For me it was because I could see better. Then four years ago had an encounter of the worst kind with a pair of Mulies at 55mph. sliding down the highway at 50 on my belly, face down, my face was not scraped away, can distinctly remember thinking how much gravel is on a highway less then an inch from my face. Without that face shield i would not be relating this story.I did get a great helicopter ride out of it though. Much better than the ones I got in the 60's.
DW and I were at a dog show in Fort Collins many years ago when the bug of all bugs hit both of us and our intestines at the same time. DW could not even sit up and we were forced to leave the fair grounds by management as the show was over and even tough I could barley drive they said we had to go. DW could not even sit up so ended up riding in the bed in the trailer. Only time we have ever done that and were more or less forced to it. She does not even remember the ride.
Yes, people are stupid! Even in Indiana.

I grew up stupid. Rode in the back of the truck many times.![]()
