Something went really wrong there. It’s crazy that the shocks in single shear and the beam stayed on the car. Honestly this is a very typical frame setup for an older beam car. It has bracing where it should be. We can clearly see weakness now in hindsight and can say where more bracing should have been. I wonder if the tube was just too thin

i have personally converted several barrien buggy frames to a arms. all but 1 were low side frames but all were .095 and .083 wall erw. something else is did it rust from the inside out and weaken it. funny comment was made on fb post and that was......this is what happens when people convert beam rails to a arms as they weaken the structure as it was designed.       i was extremely polite when i replied but i about fell out of my chair laughing when i read that  LMAO    the bent rail pictured is just a bad deal. prob combination of 4 diff issues or more but def was strong enough for that landing.  punkur67 is right.........easy enough to say that now but may have been easy to say before if one had saw it in person but we will never know.

I walked away. I thought I was unhurt for the following 20 years till I found out I had broken C5. No,I didn't go to the hospital after the wreck.
