Back when I had my own body shop, I rebuilt a Chevy 4X4 pickup that had been upside down. The box survived quite well, but we took it off to work on the cab. After we had set the box back on, and the pickup was basically back together, I decided to run it down the road. (My shop was on the edge of town, with open road to one side.)

The pickup had a 6.2 diesel, and kicked down on it pretty good because I didn't think it would be too lively. When I thought I was going about 45 or 50, I glanced at the speedo and saw I was going 70. Then it dawned on me; the dang box wasn't bolted down! I hit the brakes, turned around, and went back to the shop. I then found out that when I hit the brakes, the box slid forward and dented the back of the cab.

I'm sure I've done dumber stuff, but that came to mind. That's been 20 years ago and my brother-in-law, who was on the scene, still hasn't let me forget it.
