But those straps are nice for the trailer, but if you get the right sized trailer you can put the quads on sideways and don't have to strap them then either. Can't beat that!

I didn’t really think anything the size of an ATV (these were a raptor and a honda foreman I think) could be literally slung out of a truck bed with just a violent maneuver or accident. When the truck half rolled in the median it tossed the raptor across half the median and one lane of traffic. It would have made it to the other shoulder of the highway if a truck hadn’t hit it. Amazing to watch. I was always pretty lax about tying down my atv in my truck but after seeing this accident I tie everything down in my truck bed with multiple straps.
Had those ATVs been strapped down securely he might have been able to recover from the swerve or maybe just dumped the truck on its side in the median. With them unsecured, the flying ATVs hit a car in my lane, a truck and car in the other lane which in turn caused an accident involving yet another car.
Yup, multiple straps for me now.
