Death of driver struck by his own HGV

(my simple remedy as I told my son who still has to use them now and then) is to smear them with grease from the fifth wheel .The dirtier the grease the better the seal.

Thought I’d read on here somewhere that grease buggers up the seals in airline connectors?

These palm couplings are completely different from UK couplings. You couldnt really damage them by smearing them with 5th wheel grease, but I would be very careful doing this as you may get grease inside your airlines (not good).
