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.
And a good thing too, those log-truck drivers need all the room they can get on icy mountain roads.
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.
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
each of the hay bales on those trucks weighs between 500 and 1600 lbs, normally on the high end. they also suck to haul.

That’s actually pretty smart though.
