A short-cut fell short; I remember they tied all four corners down when mine was done. I was thinking... "Is it necessary?". I think I got my answer.

reminds of that time I decided not to wear safety hlasses when weed-wacking the lawn on the rifle range when i was in the service. Blade of grass went straight into my eye, hurt like hell. Short cuts = no good.

I've seen this one before--I would have been nauseous if that happened to my car.

You are the reason why when I joined the service, we didn't get weed-wackers. We got scissors to cut weeds. Attention to detail

Looks like a single strap? Most Dynos use 4 and cross cross them

That said, the car pulled pretty hard

The dyno operators insurance company probably cancelled his coverage after that claim...and that video. The only thing worse than cutting corners on safety is having it documented.

Did the car backfire or something? All i see is flames out of the exhaust and then it goes sideways. Or was that just the shift and the jolt of the shift sent him flying?

only time we ever used them, lol.

We had a range on pendleton back to the 600 yard line, we would have to maintain that lawn using the old school push mowers and a machete

We used week wackers due to a tournament, 600yd line hadn't been used in forever, as it wasn't a requirement for qual.

But yes, attention to detail indeed. Flubbed that one, haha.

Ahhh Semper Fi...the good old days...I remember mowing parade deck sized lawns with a push mower wearing those silver steel toe protectors...
