Cybertruck Crashes in Light Snow as Driver Shouts "NOT AGAIN!" (fuelarc.com)

What’s that they say about the definition of insanity? Something about towing with a Cybertruck, probably.

Here’s a video to watch for a laugh, a Cybertruck towing over light snow… with predictable results.

As the truck loses traction, the trailer jackknifes like it just remembered it had somewhere to be, slams into the back of the Cybertruck, and then nails a tree for good measure. The best part? The driver shouting, with perfect comedic timing, “NOT AGAIN!”

25% is even way too low. Factor of Safety is the term you're looking for, which is generally 2x or more depending on the field. Most of the equipment I've ever worked on had a minimum 3x safety factor meaning the actual limits were 3x what the ratings indicated.

A quick search gave me the result of a safety factor of at least 2 for rigging and recovery components on vehicles.
