[QUOTE="tul9033, post: 1847575, member: 2319"] There was a story of a guy who got pinned by a large truck in Joplin. He was on his way down the steps to his basement when a truck came crashing through the roof then down into the basement pinning him. He survived after texting his girlfriend goodbye. I'm not a metallurgist, but isn't the shear force failure much lower on a bolt then the tensile failure? In other words a bolt will fail under a much lighter sideways load than a stretching (top/bottom) load. [/QUOTE]
