    These guys bought a game off someone I know...they insisted on transporting this way!

    If they go fast enough the head will snap off and go bouncing down the road. Destroying the backglass, boards, and cabinet.

    That is certainly a dangerous way to transport it.

    If they wanted to leave head on... it would be safer to remove legs and strap the head and game to upright tailgate.

    Hopefully the weather’s not too hot, 1 hour trip on a really hot day can warp plastics .
    ( Greenhouse effect )
    I guess that would be the least of his worries if the head blew off on the highway

    He’s in Ontario Canada not Ontario California. I don’t think heat is going to be a problem.

    But that first speed bump will be.

    Good thing he has a toothpick for all those flies he’s going to catch going down the road.

    Besides the head being up, it's loaded way too far back in the trailer. Keep the weight as centered and low as possible. Legs off and towards the front.

    So long as they flicked those straps whilst saying this will go nowhere they should be fine.
