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

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.

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

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

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.
