While I agree with the principal opinion, I think it is important to emphasize that approximately a week after the accident, Mr. Mann sold the trailer to an unknown individual. Thus, the trailer was not available for inspection and testing by the appellant. Under these circumstances, I agree that res ipsa loquitur should be available to the appellant based upon the present state of the record.
