“Airstream travel trailers are not designed to carry passengers while in motion,” the company said in a statement.

Having had two trailers and Minnie Winnie, the trailer dealers drummed into us that no one should be in the trailer when it was being towed.  One dealer had pictures of accidents to drive the point home.  Even in the Minnie Winnie, the dealer emphasized seat belts when driving.  So this accident was predictable and avoidable.

A Brazilian man died at his own birthday party last week after a beer keg exploded while he was trying to fix it.

The tragedy occurred the evening of Sept. 17 after Gilson do Nascimento, 43, rented the booze barrel for his b’day bash in Campo Bom in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, Newsflash reported.

What a freak accident.
