A greener kind of spare tire - Click above to watch video after the jump
Man's indomitable spirit and ingenuity are wonderful things - they allow for man to persevere in the most trying of situations. Aron Ralston hacked off his own arm and survived after a boulder trapped him in Blue John Canyon, for example. In this case, one man was tasked with a problem and a need to solve it at any cost. His trailer was missing a wheel - or maybe a wheel and an axle - and a spare was apparently nowhere in sight.
Rather than succumb to the pressure and admit defeat, he did what anyone entering survival mode would do - improvise. Finding a sturdy tree branch, he fashioned it into a support device and set off down the road. Disaster averted.
Hop the jump to see the human spirit in action (or to watch a clever idiot put his and other vehicles at risk - we're really talking about one and the same here).
