    I have heard of this exact same thing causing drivers to be cut in half like a guillotine blade would do.

    It does, some specialist transport companies have steel rising ramp head-board's that send sheet up over the cab to protect the driver, where the sheet ends up however...

    i have driven a pick-up for many years, and have first hand experience to always secure the load. fortunately always just a scare, never really damage.

    so yeah, twice bitten, once shy.

    but for those who are not used to having to worry about loads in their vehicle - just go and see how often people get an inside paint job for their vehicle, when they have their newly purchased paint unsecured.
