an oh-no experience in the park

Had an oh-no happen this morning. had some neighbors pull in a few days ago. talked to them and found out this was there maiden voyage with a very nice alpenlite. just bought it recently. the wfe and i were sitting around and heard them start up the truck and then heard a loud noise, i asked her if wehn we hooked up ours was that loud, she said yeah. so i went to the window looked out and saw that there trailer was sitting on the bed rails. i went out to see if i could help them, but there is not a lot that can be done at that point. they had the front legs on some blocks that were about 12 inches tall. so when he tried to back under it pushed the trailer off of the block. the truck was very badly damaged. most likely a new bed is in order. i learned a lot from seeing that, and felt really bad for them. i saw the importance of putting the trailer landing jacks on the ground and not on blocks. just hope i dont see that again, especially not myself.
