How NOT to load a sled

[Nonhighwayservice]

My buddy's first time at loading didn't go so well.

WOW that's going to cost him some money in repairs

 

[cdnredneck_t3]

I am guessing he is new to power sports in general?

Nope, borrowed from another buddy.

Ouch. Lesson learned I hope. :d

 

[DDrake]

Ouch that is really gonna hurt his wallet.

So aside from the end result, what exactly happened, or caused it... aside from maybe the bud??

 

[Nonhighwayservice]

He hadn't even had a beer yet. Too much throttle, the nose went straight up and slammed on the roof.

Has the owner of the truck seen it yet.

on this note...isn't there a mode on the new skidoos to combat ths sorta thing..learners mode?

I've often wondered how or why these things happen, aside from the obvious of too much throttle.

Oh well, at least it's only a ford

This was an '05, not an option in that year.

I think its fair to say we've all had our special moments loading sled n stuff, but that makes my little gems seem insignifigant.

Definately have seen more wrecks in the parking lot than on the hill over the years. Enclosed trailers have helped this problem alot. Lol.

Until your buddy runs his ski up the door wire. Lol

Quickly spinning track contacts stationary traction surface causing rapid and sudden acceleration and......

I recall a similar thing happening to someone on here when transitioning from ice to concrete going into a garage, thereby causing violent contact between said garages overhead door and sled operators skull!

That sucks.... Bet your buddy won't be lending his truck anymore. I think people with some experience should be loading the decks. Seems every year we see pics of this. Hope insurance will cover that for him

 

[Lightningmike]

That really sucks. I make sure I load sleds on my deck. Easier on the friendships that way if something like that were to happen.
