Aussie straps in beer, not child

They said the 30-can pack of beer was strapped down between two adults in the back, with the five-year-old child unrestrained on the floor.

Seriously, what do you think the thought process behind this was? Don't want that heavy case of beer flying around if we wreck -- it might hit Junior and kill him!

Or more likely, don't want that beer spillin, mate!

UPDATE:

Oh dear, looks like this guy had the right idea, here are the results of unrestrained beer being transported! Luckily the beer survived.

“It would appear the rig hit that curve and tipped, ripping the side and top of the trailer piece — can-opened it right open. All the beer went flying out, down the embankment between that off-ramp and I-70 down below.”

The driver of the truck was not seriously injured but was transported to a local hospital.

The “uninjured” beer, as Stigall called it, was being transferred by hand to another truck.”
