This section addresses the inherent risks of various types of equipment in the event of a high-speed rear impact. This information is divided into three categories: • Carrying Not Recommended • Carry With Caution • Low Risk Items Carrying not recommended - The following items have been observed in police vehicles and should not be transported in a vehicle trunk - containers with gasoline, loose ammunition, loose flares, loose fire extinguisher(s), loose 4-point lug wrench, loose crowbars, loose axes and other loose equipment with potential puncture capability in high speed rear end collisions. Gasoline should not be stored in the trunk at any time, regardless of container. Carry with caution - These items will require special packing or mounting consideration and possibly use of the Trunk Pack as an additional level of safety. Examples include (with proposed orientation): fire extinguisher (fixed), lug wrench 4 point (fixed - vertical), rolotape measuring wheel (fixed - vertical), safety flares (lateral orientation - in a container), Stop Stick (lateral - mount on deck lid inner panel), shovel (lateral - place at rear of trunk), shotgun and rifle (lateral - store in case), baton (lateral - place at rear of trunk), ammunition (container). Flares should be placed in a protective storage container (preferably soft sided plastic). Flares with spikes attached should be laterally oriented in the trunk area. 1.
