Wouldn't it be possible that the ball snapped as the truck rolled ? If so, can you prove that the broken ball caused the accident, or was it the accident/loss of control that caused the ball to break ?

This is a good point. Regardless of the performance of the ball, it is certainly possible that a similar event would have happened even if the ball didn't break. Perhaps the circumstances leading up to the ball's failure (the jack-knifing, etc) put the load on the metal above its rating..
