Yikes

[alswagg]

Amazing, speechless. Al

 

[bluemonster1]

yep..another second would have changed the whole accident one way or another.I second more and his whole body would of been smashed,lucky it just caught his leg slightly..yes he is LUCKY

 

[sleddineinar]

WOW!! That guy was lucky!!

 

[bufalobob]

good thing he was on a apex. they weigh almost as much as a full size pick-up!

Somebody died here last year cruising down the road & car backed out of driveway. Sled T-boned car . Snowbanks were high enough neither driver saw each other I guess.

TrueThat!

 

[bluemonster1]

I really feel sorry for that truck he hit then..lol

 

[rx1jim]

The rider was incredibly lucky to come away from that accident without life threatening injuries. Sleds, cars and trucks just don't mix well.

 

[03viperguy]

that is some luck! and its a vector, look at the small tailpipes

 

[teamblue4]

That's not even close too being true.

 

[bufalobob]

you're correct, they actually weigh more than a full size pick-up.

[bluemonster1]

[03viperguy]

[bluemonster1]
