Its not a companies job to protect people from themselves. U-Haul shouldn't have to ask people what they are towing. If you are seeking out towing equipment, and have a car or truck equipped to tow, you should know something about how to tow, including the weight limitations, changes in handling characteristics, and suseptibility to cross winds. Other retailers don't ask how you will be using their product. If you really think this is U-Haul's fault, then every purchase of every item will become a 45 minute interview. You buy a cup of coffee on your way to work: Will you be throwing this at your coworker ? Will you be pouring it in an electrical outlet ? will this coffee be a distraction from driving ? .....please sign here.

The article points out some tragic circumstances, but some people are idiots, and some times unfortunate things happen and .....here comes a real shocker.....there is no one to blame ( or sue ).
