Well, now think about it for a moment. The front windshield has safety glass and the side windows often do not. If he was in the process of backing into a driveway or going forward into a driveway, then he would have to turn his car sideways, which would make him more vulnerable to one of those steel balls bouncing into his vehicle and striking him. I'm not so sure that I would have made a decision different than his at the time, although I would have probably put my vehicle in park and crouched down trying to get out of harm's way. I am kind of surprised that his airbag (if his vehicle had them) did not deploy in that incident.

Cooperino, you are probably right about the lead. Nonetheless, I cannot imagine being on the receiving end of one of those shots in the civil war or even if one of those steel balls did become airborne and you did not have any shelter from them.

First moment I saw rolling balls towards me, I'm getting out of the way. I can guarantee you would NOT find me sitting in the path of projectiles.

Ask Sam Mac, he used to race too. I'm sure he would have seen what was GOING to happen.

I'd take the side impact chance. Turn into a driveway quick!

Call me crazy but I'd prolly keep driving till I get past the hauler. But I drive a taller pickup than a low sports car.

Grinding balls.
I have hauled them before on a flatbed with sides.
Used in processing ore.
They also use iron rods in this process as well.
Should be illegal (probably is) to haul this kind of stuff in vans loose like that.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
