    Tough indeed! Recalling aftermath to what occurred when a webbed tie-down wound up a trailer tire; stripped tire off that rim, crumpled the fender.

    Anything mounted on board to deploy under the rolling tires would either be ripped right away from the frame immediately or fold the truck up like a fortune cookie. If it did arrest the tires without destroying the truck the kinetic energy would now cause the whole thing to act like sliding down a sand dune on a car hood, zero control
