Can I Be Held In Any Way Responsible For My Big Balls?
As some of you may know I make Atlas Stones, these are the big concrete balls used for worlds strongest man etc.
These Atlas Stone range in weight and size from 15 Kgs up to 210 Kgs. I often have people arrive to collect these stones on the back seat of their car or in the boot totally unrestrained. I explain to customers that if they were to have an accident or even brake hard, these stones would come through the cockpit of the car and most likely kill all they collide with but they seem fine to put these stones on the back seat behind their own or their wives seat. Should there be an accident, could I be held responsible for injury caused by these stone. I do often give people a tyre to sit the stone in, it help to stop the stone from rolling, but in an accident it would do nothing to help.

//I don't think there are any Laws re securing loads in a non commercial vehicle.// Oh yes there is, Aunt Polly. Buenchico has pointed it out above (Namely S40a of the Road Traffic Act 1988, which applies to all vehicles). I'm not at all convinced that a court would convict Ratter of "causing or permitting" such a transgressio
