firstly, if any of you were there then you would have seen what happened, i personally know the driver and have NO resaon to doubt what he has said
Nobody is saying what he said was wrong, nobody is saying that he wasn’t cut up by a car, but at the end of the day if it was secured properly he should he would have been able to swerve/skid/brake/whatever as much as he liked without it moving an inch.
One old boy I know always used to say that if a load is secured properly you should be able to turn the trailer upside down and the load should still not move an inch…

and if any of you spoke to the driver you would also know that the police did stop the car that was involved in this incident and the driver was spoken to, so please stop adding [zb] about a minor mishap that has now been blown out of all propotion

A minor mishap is when you crack a light lens while fitting a bulb or scratch the rear bumper of your car.
This minor mishap closed the road for over 7 hours and involved a crane

Exactly.
My only addition is that there would be very little centrifugal force on a load that low and that long. Unless he braked hard? Then we’re back to load security.
