        To this day, I will not drive directly behind a logging truck because of that scene.

          I know a family who was directly behind one and one of the thinner logs flew off the truck and through their window directly between the two adults in the front seat.

          A friend of mine was riding behind a semi when the bracket holding the mudflap detached. Ended up with a 2 inch hole in his hood. The cop that came out wouldn’t write up a report for insurance because he didn’t believe the story, even in the middle of the damn interstate with a fresh hood hole. So my friend drove around for years with a hole in his hood. I think that’s the day he started hating cops.

          Seems like this scene was a very effective safety moment haha (Something we do at the start of meetings in my industry - chemical engineering)
