Consumer Description

TAILGATE STRAPS SIMULTANEOUSLY BROKE ON 2000 CHEVROLET S-10 / 4WD. THIS HAPPENED APPROX. 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. I WAS HAND-LOADING A PUSH MOWER INTO THE BED OF THE TRUCK, WITH ONE KNEE ON THE TAILGATE SO THAT I COULD SHOVE THE MOWER FARTHER UP INTO THE BED. THE STRAPS BROKE AND DROPPED ME A FEW INCHES, AND CAUSING MY KNEE AND LEG TO SLIP OFF THE GATE. I ALMOST SMACKED MY FACE INTO THE BED, BUT CAUGHT MYSELF IN TIME.*AK
