Go to the 2:00 mark.
I mean just wow.
That is incredible how those chains are holding up so much weight.
They really are life savers!
REMINDER: Replace Safety Chains when they become worn...
 
HOLY HELL! This is why you overdue it with the safety chains. Assuming those were two 5/16" grade 70 chains they have a combined ultimate breaking strength of 28,200#. (4,700wll x3 per chain) Not a fun test tho, hopefully they were able to find the extra shorts in the camper, I sure would have needed a fresh pair after that
 
I posted the details of that story on here when it came out.. if anyone wants to search for it.
