At the very least, it could use a less acute angle at the end.

Steep incline. Test brakes now.

He should have put on chains.

He missed the exit stage right sign at the top of the hill.

Those sudden stops are no fun. Brakes help.

It’s called practical engineering as in try it yourself before you call it done. Had that happened more often, lots of needs a little improvement designs would have been trashed and more hospital time avoided for those of us forced to field test (i.e. upside down in a field) on our own dime.

Engineers – no matter what field – should be required to fully use and fix anything they design, before the product goes into production.

See all Dilbert comics

If we had more exit ramps (deceleration lanes) like that we would never have to build more traffic lanes.

I can design (and build) something totally trustworthy (I’m a design engineer) To prove it I build my own cars (Street Rods) and drive them all the time. It is on my time schedule and budget. 12 years and 20,000 miles on a 33 Ford coupe without a single issue of any kind (OK MSD distributor did go bad last year in March before the show season but that was their part not my design).
