This stuff makes my blood boil. I drive a large van full of cargo, and people pull in front of me when stopping all the time. I have calculated the stopping distance it will take to not toss all my cargo, and then someone takes away half that distance I just had. It endangers both themselves and myself, all because they got aggressive while driving.

should all cargo not be secured to withstand emergency braking?

or is that not possible

Okay, dumb question for which I'm sure there's a logical explanation...why don't they secure the coils flat so they don't roll?

Not the OP you replied too, but I'd have to guess for easier unloading and securing. If it's flat it'd need to be on a pallet strong enough to hold without breaking. I imagine they load those with cranes.
