I suspect that some bird dropping welds, a brain dead driver, and a 50+ year old clapped out suspension were major contributors. He was probably very happy after he saw the video that he wasn't still strapped in the seat when it went to the height of the power poles.Dave

Dave, I am thinking you might even be giving the guy too much credit. That bucket seat flying seems like he fastened with bolts through the floor and nothing but a flat washer on the back side holding it in. And I could see no kind of harness or even a seat belt in evidence. MoparJack is right. There's a tech inspector out there looking for a new job.Duane S
