mnstang Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Was it his own garage? It hit something very solid! It seems like every year there's a video of a runaway sled and that's just the times it gets captured on video! Last year there was on on mille lacs that went through a group of fishermen that could have easily killed many people, it was hauling ass!

Some of those garage doors are pretty thick and have extra bracing for the width of the door plus the door opener, brackets and chain???

Gold Member EvilBird Posted January 1, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted January 1, 2022 Holy shit lucky it went into the garage and not the house and hurt someone. Reminds me of a Kid I rode Dirt Bikes with..His throttle would stick sometimes on this clapped out RM 125 and I told Him Dude fix that before you get hurt....Nope , few days later it stuck open on a whoop section and he wrecked it pretty bad. Cant fix stupid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstang Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 The car leaving the house hit it's brakes as it happened, I wonder if he saw and what must have gone through his mind. A minute difference could have been very different. That guy was pretty irresponsible all around. I wonder what the story is. 44 minutes ago, Jerry 976 said: Some of those garage doors are pretty thick and have extra bracing for the width of the door plus the door opener, brackets and chain??? At first I just viewed through a small screen and figured there was a pillar there or something but now see it was just the door staying together and absorbing the energy perfectly. Really a pretty great outcome. If it hit a wall instead of that door it would have poked a hole through and gone way deeper in. Or if it was a cheaper door that wasn't as thick and solid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant fix stupid. I had a throttle stick in a whoop section on the track before and it was very scary, didn't realize it til the corner afterwards, I went over the berm but saved it. Super scary. I think something might have been in carb bowl and come up into the needle guide from the whoops and then the needle couldn't go back down. I cleaned it out super good after that. Another time I had a really bad one in the woods and it ended in a really bad crash that ended the day, probably the scariest thing that can happen. That was a whiskey throttle from clipping a tree but same effect. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFM Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Had a throttle stick at wot .happen to me 15 -16 yrs ago on s sled. Dumb Arctc Cat (with dumb acorns in frt of carbs.) Was just ready to send it (was in woods) when brain quickly kicked in and hit the kill button. My poos would have shut off because if the slack in the throttle cable from the acorns.

p51mstg Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I know a guy that was working on his 800 Doo in his yard. Guy is an experienced sledder and is a good mechanic. Started it up without checking the throttle and it took off wide open. He had the presence of mind to try to stop it, because it was headed straight for the road. It threw him into a tree, breaking both his femurs. He was home alone, laid out in his yard, no way to call for help. So, he dragged himself up to the house, somehow got inside and called 911. He got a helicopter ride out if that deal and took a long time to rehab. Fortunately, he’s walking and back to work. It doesn’t matter how smart you are or how good you are, use the tether. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
