A damper probably could have prevented this. Poor driver most likely got startled by the tailgate falling so fast he pulled the trigger. Never attempt to put your weapons in the bed without a damper.
"This comes after the board determined the crash was caused by excessive speed, drug-impaired driving, and Nevada’s failure to deter the driver despite being a repeat offender."
Sounds familiar . Pass another law to restrict the device but let's overlook the root cause . :(
Save your money and get a set of these for when you park on an incline if it worries you. Remember to always turn your wheels the correct way when parking on an incline and you don't have to worry in most cases anyway.
Needing to hit the button every time is as annoying as the folks that keep saying just hit the button.

On a side note , those little CREE LED flashlights you have on the rear panel are great . For long term you have to make sure the AA batteries are kept separate or they will corrode the inside. A lot of people don't know they are made to use the 3.7V cells and can also use AA at a reduced...
All good points . Also I will add to always have the straps pulling toward the front of the truck. If the rear straps are pulling to the side or rearward when a front strap fails it can be a bad day.
