>>Is it perhaps safer in a major crash,
because of the likelihood of separation, but more likely to have a
smaller
accident for that same reason?  Which is safer for the horses?  What do
the rest of you think?  Any authoritative sources out there you can

me to? <<

I think that he's got a right to his own opinion, here's mine.  I think
goosenecks are much more safe and stable for the animal.  I had a bumper
pull WW before buying my gooseneck.

And I have an accident investigator friend who thinks likewise, L.D.
Steele, out of Louisiana who works accidents in TX, AR, MO, etc.  He's a
happy gooseneck owner as well.  Maybe I should get him to post here.
His daughter is a barrel racer.  He's told many a tale of bumper pull
slaughter.

If you want LD's email address, Glenda, drop me a line.
