Surviving crashes involves some planning.
Have you considered that when you have a collision that it might be the stuff you are carrying in your vehicle that will do you more damage than the actual impact?
If you load your vehicles like this:-
You may find yourself dead and if you are putting your employees in this type of vehicle you may find yourself on the wrong end of a prosecution under corporate manslaughter legislation.
This type of vehicular carnage is not difficult or expensive to prevent and therefore a lack of such preventative measures would be considered by any prosecutors should your driver be injured or worse still die. The security of your load should be paramount and should be easy to use and proven by collision testing.
