I can absolutely confirm this. Always joked about it until we found ourselves out in the PNW and that joke became very real very quickly.

The cultural penetration of this scene has become visible when on the highway and you see a truck carrying logs and how everyone avoids being directly behind it.

Was this scene in the trailers or something ahead of another more popular movie that year? I don’t think I’ve ever seen this movie, but the scene is still burned into my mind 20 years later.

And a good thing too, those log-truck drivers need all the room they can get on icy mountain roads.

maybe, but logging trucks are second only to hay trucks in rate and lethality of dropped load. It’s a really good and basic safety practice, the movie didnt come up with the idea of logging truck accidents.

I never did fully trust those hay trucks. Glad that wasn’t unjustified

I know exactly what this is referencing and I’ve never watched the clip. The comments at the time were enough to properly disturb me.

Good choice, that’s a video that’s been burnt in my mind for 15 years or however old it is…I feel like that was a rotten.com special back in the day
