Im going to a show tomo so decided to do all my trailer checks this afternoon, tyre pressure and treads done and decided the jockey wheel needed a squirt of WD40, so after id done that i decided to do the handle that you tighten to move jockey wheel up and down and stupidly i loosened the handle and the trailer dropped!! Jeez i nearly pooped myself!! Luckily i was stood to the side so it missed my feet!! Some kind Shooters came and lifted it back up for me so i coul reposition it!
I told my oh and he was really cross with me he has rollocked me for being so stupid!! Some one at his work did exactly the same and lost 4 toes so can see why he was upset with me!
Ive learnt my lesson!!

and it scared me silly!

Hm. Glad you're in one piece! Stay away from the trailer

Steel toe caps!! hmm might need to invest!

He he he.... I am even more stoooopid then

I have done it TWICE!!!

Both times I was unhitching and thought that I had to loosen it

OH had to winch it up onto logs..... growling at me for being a retard in the process
