I used to think that all the people who won't use a hitch rack because 'What if you get rear-ended?' were a bunch of worrywarts, but then we got tagged last weekend. No bikes were on, but we were on our way to pick one up. I partly blame the fact that it's a black rack on the back of a black SUV, so ninja mode.
The main beam is bent a couple of degrees up from vertical, but otherwise OK. Made a mess of that guy's grille, though....
