[CAUT] pushing pianos

[Fred Sturm]

Should an arm (probably at the tail) of the piano truck hit an  
obstacle, it can telescope inward and break a leg. I wasn't there when  
it happened at a prep school I service, but I dealt with the  
aftermath. (Actually, it broke the leg lock).

Regards,
Fred Sturm
