How to Safely Transport a Mattress on the Roof of Your Car
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- When not secured to a vehicle properly, mattresses in transport can soar off and turn into missiles. Several videos of flying mattresses show it happening so fast, that some cars can’t get out of the way in time. To illustrate how improperly secured mattresses can wreak havoc on the road, Inside Edition enlisted the help of AAA’s Robert Sinclair. We tied a mattress on top of a roof rack using the twine and drove down the race track at New Jersey Motorsports Park to see if it would fly off or stay tied down. #InsideEdition
He probably forgot to flick the rope and say "That ain't goin nowhere". Works every time for me.
That’s the “activation code” for securing a load.
Yea that’s a must
Kinda Like how a car sales men need to slap the roof of the car before selling a car
@@rylantuers6702 exactly just right before he tells you he can talk to the manager to get you driving off the lot that day!!!🤣
People always forget that’s important
idk how inside edition manages to find an expert for literally EVERYTHING.
Second before this blows up xoxoxo
They built different from those other news channels lol
I don't think this guy is an expert I think he has common sense
@@lectornox 😂😁💯
@Khalif to be gay
Here in the Philippines we can transport any furniture even on the roof of tricycle, plastic straw rope no problem we tied it like a marine.💪
So 💯 true! 🤣🤣🤣
I have even seen larger things being traveled using a motorcycle 😆😆😆
True/Totoo
@@flayful true lol
Noypi madiskarte LOL
Kahit refrigerator pa. Hahanap talaga ng paraan ang pinoy.
Its so irresponsible for the mattress people to give them that rope that is the same consistency as Turkey twine
Some people might assume its enough
ALWAYS use ratchet straps
I worked at Ashley furniture, and that's what we had to give them
Actually Tyger Twine rated 490 or above works just fine for our customers who do not have their own straps but we tie it down for our customer because if you do not do it correctly nothing will hold. Most stores will not tie it down do to liability but I would rather have a happy customer, undamaged mattress & safe travels for ours :)
It looks like floss 😂😂
"ALWAYS use ratchet straps" On a highway, yeah.
But on a regular road, a rope that is as big as my small finger is more than enough if you drive carefully.
Don't let your mattress become a Sail on the highway.
@@TwinShards Or you can just be safe on all roads and use ratchet straps all the time 🙄
This literally happened to me. I purchased a queen sized mattress. The STORE tied it down and said it was fine. I drove 15-20 MPH the entire way home and guess what? It flew off the top! Thankfully 2 gentlemen stopped and helped us tie it back down and it stayed that time. It was frightening to know it flew off.
god bless u
I worked for a furniture store and we wernt allowed to tie it down for liability reasons, but we gave them some thin twine to tie it down ,I felt bad but I wasn't gonna buy every customer ratchet straps
@@burnthecandleatbothendz Ya I understand that. I’m pretty sure this guy owned the furniture store
Ok
which store was this lmao
*everybody gangsta until the mattress starts flying away and tries to kill some1* 💀
Wtf my guy 🤦♂️
😒
Final destination moment
@@natasanjaya778 lol
0:28 looked like someone tried to jump over the mattress 🤣
nice catch made me laugh my ass off. 😆 LOL
"We swerved out of the way just in time."
Bit dramatic 😂😂😂
I don't even own a car yet, and I'm not even planning on getting a new mattress, but this is actually good information for future purposes.
if you seriously think anything other than a ratchet strap would hold for anything over 30 miles your crazy
@@exruix7683 I know, you gotta use more straps, and thicker ones too

Somebody took this beamng drive meme to a next level
I’ve had many things fly at me on the highway. A couple times it was a mattress. Also in the middle of the highway I’ve come across a couch as well as a washing machine. Also went through a storm of styrofoam peanuts. 😬
Best I had was a hobo
I had a chair, lamp, and a metal cart and hubcap. The metal ones were most dangerous
One time when my sister was driving, a giant tarp was flying down the highway. We narrowly avoided it, but I looked back and saw it color another cars windshield. I was so scared they were gonna crash, and I can only imagine what the people inside that car were thinking...probably screaming if I were them.
@@no_name_needed8926 that would be scary. Just goes to show anything can happen and you always need to be aware of your surroundings.
I'm either lucky or haven't spent enough time on the highway. Because i never have anything fly towards me
I work at a mattress store and tie mattresses and box springs on top of cars everyday. I've tied thousands of them over the years. We use rope. Not dental floss, like they had here. I dont know what kind of place gave them that.
I'm with you, I own two stores & we use Tyger Twine for our customers...it works just fine if you know how to tie it down correctly.
Would be better to show exactly how to use and wrap the mattress with those ratchet straps .
@@jeskeepinitreal 😂lmaooo exactly!!! .. unfortunately with kids in other states and expensive mattresses I’ll do anything to get them home! ✌🏼☺️
Ive seen people hold the mattresses with their hands out the windows. Its incredible.
I work at the Salvation Army as a donation attend and you wouldn’t believe how many times a customer would come up to me or someone else and ask if we have rope to tied down a mattress or some other type of furniture on their car roofs. How the customers get home with the way they fit their furniture on their car roofs always scares me😳
When I worked for a hardware store, people always ask me to strap things down or tie them because “others done it in the past” I tell them hell no because that’s a liability case if that thing comes off and goes flying.
What scares me is the thought that people will intentionally go somewhere to buy a mattress or whatever without bringing any rope, bungee cord, and/or tie down strap.
@@cmndrkool321 it’s the same thing with me, I can’t help load or tie anything down because of liability claims but a lot of customers just don’t want to understand that and want to argue the point with me or the managers😞😒
@@rabidcujocrazy7462 don’t forget they also don’t clean out or organize their cars before hand when they go to buy something like furniture and it take forever to get things organize😩
Yeah that's why at my store we have a policy to not help customers. If the thing flies off, it's their liability, not ours.
Happened to me some years ago. Following a truck with the mattress in the bed not tied down evidently. Wind caught it and it was airborne, straight into my 2 front tires. Bent the metal into my tires. Left to deal with it on my own as the driver left the scene and their mattress. I avoid getting behind anything on top or in the bed of a truck.
I pray that everyone that sees this becomes successful in life
No
No im not subbing to u
fortnite kid
One more reason to just buy your mattress online.
Yeah I just paid the delivery fee instead of going through the headache of bringing it home myself
👍I have never ever used a ratchet strap but I want to however they scare me & that’s how I ended up here. This video is fantastic! I appreciate you. Thank you sir 🙏 from all of us daddyless daughters out here. Daddy taught me a lot of stuff but he didn’t get around to teaching me about ratchet straps. RIP daddy. 🙏💝
Rest in peace to your dad 💕
@@hayleyy_.j - 😞Thank you. 😞
@@hayleyy_.j - Thank you. 🙏💝
Title of the video:
BeamNG players: *"We don't do that here"*
I was looking for this comment
Dang... I ALWAYS use ratchet straps, but they neglected to mention something important, at least important to me. I always strap front to back and side to side. I use one strap front to back, then two side to side- front left to rear right and front right to rear left. I have never lost a mattress and the front to back strap prevents or minimizes the flapping in the wind.
This👍
Thanks Inside Edition, me and the lads now know how to create missile launchers with just a car, a mattress and rope.
I've always needed to know this! Thanks inside edition!
Thats nuts!!!
Who knew a bed could do that much
1:06 The guy with the black jacket put his see through mask wrong 🤣🤣🤣
Nows thats what you call a hot bed
Damn inside edition is uploading at the same time
Ikr
this bed is on fireeeeew 😂🔥❤️
If they used rope on the 1st test it would have been much worse, you would hit like 80mph then "snap!"
Ha.. just one mattress! Here in Africa we load 50 mattresses up a pick up and and tie them the old fashioned way
Right here in my country we use tricycle im surprise how idiot these people
@@hjkkotsu4680 man I can’t stand it out here in the us, there’s so many idiots bro
Finally I see our motor sports on the news I live next to it thank god I feel like we made out out the hood🤣😆😂😂😂😂
0:26 that mattress flew for its life
Oh no the mattress fell out............... why was the mattress on the highway any way 😂
I always use 4 straps two for the sides and two for the back and front
Yesterday I saw a refrigerator on the side of the interstate in 3 pieces (base and 2 doors)
Could you imagine?
Lmao hell nahh, that's crazy
Yes! They got an expert on mattress transport!
America: *Uses ramen noodles for transporting mattress*
& this goes for many things other than just mattresses!!
I saw a small lawn tractor strapped to the roof of an early 2000s Ford Taurus wagon the other day
Dudes rented an entire race track when an empty field would have worked just fine
☆Mattress falls off☆
☆Mattress be like: WEEE!☆
Sleepy Sal is the true expert on safely transporting a mattress on any vehicle.
The mattress people really need to give better rope. It’s an absolute disgrace how flimsy the string they give is. They need to stop being so cheap actually put safety first.
Or better yet, sell ratchet straps or rent them out for folks who don't bring their own that way nobody has to worry about how strong a string is because that's not good for anyone involved.
Good information once I cross the boarder to the U.S from Mexico I’m confident I could fit in one
Haha it looks like señor’s Boy Scout knot didn’t hold lol
Yeah , this is I order my mattress. 😂😂
Beamng nailed the matresses
Jesus approves of this video
You said that in the tractor video
hello again Jesus the third time
forgive me for my sins
Tf opps the frick
Always use two straps!
“Next video how you can safely transport a couch on the roof of your car”
Just watch and learn from Mr.Bean
And then they pull up with a truck or a van
With people “safely seated” on it as well 🤣
Him : 60-65 on racetrack
Me: 60-65 in residential
Damn they gave them some dental floss to strap the mattress down with..
"Look what happens when you use dental floss to tie a mattress to a car"
we swerved out-of-the-way just in time lol
they have a expert for putting a mattress on car. damn
I was gonna skip this video but I thought to my self “I swear if they got an expert for this...” 😭
0:25 why am I laughing? 😂
Why carry a mattress on your car when you can have it shipped or something lololll
This is the most educational thing I’ve ever seen
I'm glad I saw this. I didn't know mattresses could break a windshield car. I mean the mattress doesnt have any sharp objects.
I had a geico ad 😂
so if the mattress kills someone does that mean the police have to arrest it and charge it with murder? LOL XD
1:24 put it on the top of the bloodhound ssc going full speed
You're supposed to use ratchet straps, not dental floss, lol
I like how they swerved out of the way but it didn't even matter
I vividly remember transporting a cruddy mattress on my cruddy car as it kept beginning to lift like a wing. Crossed the city at 15mph. I'm gonna do it right this time with some straps.
That one time you almost die because a mattress
Next up on inside edition: how to safely breath

*I LEGIT DON'T CARE*
If the furniture store gave you a thin piece of twine then what a normal person can do is go to Lowe's or home depot and buy a set of straps, a 4 pack starts at $15 so if you're trying to save money on the delivery fee do it right
I've never thought i would see this
Love this reporter his voice is amazing
They should have used two straps. One can come loose once you start to drive so you always need a back up.
I had the fiberglass part of inside of hot tub fly out of hot tub from car trailer on RT495 few years ago.. caught all on my dash camera, lucky nobody was in right lanes cuz I definitely would have got in accident.. ppl need to take more caution when moving or buying big products.
It was scary enough swerving around a mattress in the middle of the highway. I can't imagine trying to dodge one that had just flew off.
“We swerved out of the way just in time.”
Proceeds to drive straight forward as if nothing happened
Yeah you can do that too, but I didn't have any, so I tied it from front to back and side to side. Went from Southern California to Northern California
Charlie Knucklewavy, at least that's how I heard it
I’m surprised they didn’t bring in a mattress expert
This is the reason I tie them up with my ATV strips with a lock
That's like using shoe lace and also I didn't even know some stores gave you stuff to tie it down or try to at least
Philippine tricycle: *We can do it without safety straps*
Beamng: nervous sweating
Beamng needs tp watch this
0:30 they look like brothers
Yall don't say the type or length or where to buy the ratcheting straps 😂
Wow thanks for teaching me how to tie a mattress on top of a car even though I won’t ever need it
Matress just wanted to go to vacation without being squished
People here in Alanta Need to learn how Secure a mattress also things on their trailers ...it’s like an obstacle course on I-85 😏
I tough that man on the thumbnail was edp445 🤣🤣🤣
Why they take so long to get to the point
Plot twist: Sinclair has a ratchet strap business.
That so scary and terrifying
Mattress really just said “Ight I’m bout to head out” 💀
The reason I came to this video is because it happened to me just before the time of this comment. There was a truck carried a lot of junk stuffs driving on highway with 65MPH then woods and something looks like bed flew of the truck made everyone swerving all over. I almost hit the big piece of wood and swerved twice. Luckily didn’t hit any surrounding vehicles while they were going so fast. Everybody was OK. I will say everybody was lucky. Very lucky. Otherwise it would had caused an accident that could have killed a lot of people with that speed.😢. The junk yard truck was second car in front of me that’s why I didn’t see. I saw when the car infront of me started swerving and I did too. Good blessed everyone that moment. 😢
Wow for her it must have been an action-packed day🤔
That bed mattress is easily flexible to be put inside the car itself, heres a tip remove your back seats or fold it down and you got space people, no need for the roof
Lol i even saw a two man with a door while riding a 150cc motorcycle
The mattress expert. 😛🤗😏
