RivNut 2,593 Posted November 16, 2018 How many of you know why this is called a mansfield bar? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BUICK RACER 678 Posted November 16, 2018 Probably cause some guy named Mansfield said let's put a bar on these trucks to make the leveler activate without a person pushing a button. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RivNut 2,593 Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Federal regulations required this bar be added to trailers after Jane Mansfield was killed when her Buick ran under the back of a trailer and she was killed. her n Her daughter Mariska Hargity was in the back seat at the time of the accident. If the name is not familiar to you, she is the star of Law and Order SVU Edited November 16, 2018 by RivNut (see edit history) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next question: Who was the rear seat passenger who survived the accident? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
