    Bummer!
    Glad your OK! The car can be rebuilt.
    Be happy that it didn't happen at about the 1000' mark.
    Doesn't look like the welder had very good penetration when the ladder bar brackets were attached originally. They probably should have had some additional gussets since they are not the 360 type brackets.

    If you paid to have them welded ,I hope you can get it repaired at his expense (but don't have him do the work ) because that is one poor weld,very very very bad!
