when she walked into a four-inch trailer hitch
—
I like many others in my life time have walked into a trailer hitch. Never thought to sue anyone for my carelessness.

four-inch trailer hitch

I don't know if anyone else has seen one but I have not. I have seen: 1-3/4", 2" and 2-5/16", 3" then a Pintle Hitch and 5th Wheel but never a 4" hitch.

1-7/8-inch ball has up to up to 2,000 lbs capacity and features 3/4″ or 1″ bolt (shank) diameter;

2-inch ball, which is the most popular size, offers capacity from 3,500 lbs up to 8,000 lbs and features 3/4″, 1″, or 1-1/4″ bolt diameters;

2-5/16-inch balls can handle from 6,000 lbs to 40,000 lbs and come with 1″ and 1-1/4″ diameter shanks;

3-inch balls are used infrequently for heavy-duty applications.

Pintle Hitch Capacity: Up to 60,000 lbs. Couples to a lunette ring. Available for heavy-duty vehicles.

The only trailer hitch I have walked into was my own. Man, it can be a real shin burner. I guess I could have sued myself.

Learned my lesson, I always remove the hitch an ball as soon as I am done with it.

I agree. I walked into one, and cut my shin pretty badly, and as I cursed, I wasn’t cursing the truck, the hitch, or owner, I was cursing myself for my carelessness.

Well, that’s not wholly true-I did curse that hitch mightily, but that lasted for all of about two seconds. Boy, did that hurt.

Reminds me of being in the jury selection process for a civil trial. The judge relayed the particulars of the case where the female plaintiff said she went to a doctor’s office, and when entering the examination room, bumped herself against the examination table.

I listened for the judge to relay more. Perhaps she then tumbled onto a tray of carelessly placed scalpels? What was the complaint other than her own clumsiness?

But no; that was it. She herself bumped into the edge of the examination table and now she was suing the doctor. Such an absurd case. Glad I was ultimately *not* selected for the jury.
