It wasn't vehicles that threw stuff off, it was going from that good old mountain ruck through the various iterations of everyones good new idea of what we needed for a ruck. The rucks got bigger and supposedly the stuff got lighter. The end result was that when it was all over we could now carry more items of light weight shit that in total added up to more weight because we carried more of it. Then it got even better. Used to be a simple H-Harness, two quick release straps and a lowering line was all you needed to jump the old rucks. When they got larger rucks we wound up having to deal with a web assembly and quick release that looked like an pile of occtupi (sp?) in heat.
