I've been wondering when the uk papers would write about Ian and Stuart's 2656, and it turns out they did. But not for the happiest of reasons.

Luckily it sounds like the pumpkin was uninjured, surprisingly.

Will read more and others when wider-awake, lol---eg

Wow I didn't know that had happened, glad they and the pumpkin are ok. I've always thought trailers were a bit unstable compared to a flatbed. With the flatbed you barely know it's there - not so with trailers.

Glad nobody was hurt.

Pumpkin I love you, I see you, you are
Under New York’s beaming sun — a star
My pumpkin, oh honey, I can only cry
Pumpkin, you’re heavy, and now you will die
Kill you, they will, just to scoop out your seed
In an unholy ritual, their own greed they feed
Never I’ll forget my large pumpkin sweetie
<3 you I do, because you’re so meaty
Thank you, pumpkin. And I’m sorry.

Your center of gravity( top heavy) is above the tires so you have to be smooth going around corners or changing direction. Any jerky motion can be bad.

Imagine if it had happened before it was weighed. That would be a pucker moment.
