Mark Been retired 12 years. I always used slugs, KIS, divide weight by gravity, 32. Use what works for you.
Back to my original idea. Do you think the DOT chain requirements will really save your life when you stop faster than 0.8 g's?
I've never been in an ACCIDENT, knock on wood. Perhaps one of the reason is when I was 12 I got hurt on my motorcycle. Taught me pay attention and be a defensive driver. Avoid hitting anything, don't tailgate, always think ahead, plan on brakes not working.
People who have been in an accident say the seat belt leaves burses. So what's your best guess how many negative g's do they experience? Then apply the -g's to DOT chain requirement and D ring strength. Strong enough???
BYW, I've also researched DOT requirements in Indiana. What some post is not true in Indiana, there are commercial carriers and private carriers. No CDL's up to 26000. No DOT # private trucks. Only 10 weigh stations in Indiana, all on interstate, which I don't use when moving a tractor. ALL LOADS SHOULD BE SECURED FOLLOWING NEWTON'S LAWS OF MOTION. DOT CHAIN REQUIREMENTS ARE A JOKE IN AN ACCIDENT. GEO

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
