Let's hope your friend is O.K. I also use a gooseneck trailer to tow my 1953
XM211 deuce and a 1/2 cargo truck. Especially, when entering or exiting the
cab at such heights. I guess it's three foot from the ground to the trailer
deck + maybe another 3 foot from the deck to the door on the truck. That
would be a serious fall.
Always remember, safety is no accident.
