Cement Block Safety
Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 6:50 pm
With all of the snow and ice people tend to put cement blocks in the back of their trucks for weight to give added traction. If you do this,PLEASE secure these.I lost a classmate several years ago when his truck went off the road in winter. He had several cement blocks in the back of his truck which became projectiles when the truck suddenly stopped. One of the block went through the rear window and struck him in the head. He died at 18 years old 35 years ago. Be safe and use bags of tube sand instead.
