[QUOTE="RustedAngel:269503"]A semi-trailer driver -- a truckie -- was taking loads between Melbourne and Adelaide. Just outside Adelaide the highway descends a range of hills, including a notorious hairpin bend called "The Devil's Elbow." Crash Scattered all through this part of the hills are short uphill safety ramps where a truck with failed brakes can roll in for an emergency stop. One day a truckie was just approaching Eagle on the Hill, a couple of miles above The Devil's Elbow, when he lost his brakes. It's a busy road, and he had a full load on board. Unable to slow down, he careered along, flashing his lights and blaring the horn, swerving all over the road as he wrestled with the truck. Miraculously, he kept on the road, and cars cleared out of his way. If he could keep the truck upright and get around The Devil's Elbow, there was a safety ramp a few hundred yards beyond. By a miracle, he made it around the bend without rolling over, and turned the speeding truck off onto the safety ramp. There, halfway up, was a family having a picnic. [/QUOTE]
