The plaintiffs did not prevail because they failed to prove that John Cronquist was responsible for a defective condition in the vehicle. Instructions that could not possibly mislead a jury or have affected the verdict do not constitute reversible error. Accordingly, we find the analogy to Slaubaugh v. Slaubaugh , supra ,unpersuasive. The judgment is affirmed. The vehicle was a 1963 International utility or telephone truck equipped with a hydraulic lift bucket.
Testimony indicates the bucket gave the vehicle a high center of gravity.
The letting of a chattel for hire has been termed a bailment locatio rei. Under modern classifications, the present lease arrangement most likely is a bailment for mutual benefit or a bailment lease. See 8 Am. Jur.2d, Bailments 16-26. Generally, when referring to chattel leases, the terms do not allude to different duties.
