Beyond the weight bearing amenities of your ramp.....

No matter what ramp you use, always tie, bolt or pin, tightly, the ramp to the vehicle..... to the bumper, to the dedicated tie-down slots, rings, loops, or to whatever.

The guy in the video, at the 1 minute mark, didn't use the ramps' ties/straps, to secure the ramps to the vehicle. These ties keep the back wheel/wheels from ejecting the ramps from under the vehicle/trailer. So many novice bike/4 wheeler/etc. users simply don't think and make this mistake of not securing their ramps to the trailer/vehicle.

At least some of the metal ramps come with ties, for this very purpose, but idiot macho guys don't use them. Better safe, than sorry.
