Holy shit how does that happen within inches in front of you and you walk away. No metal in you? I mean the Takata airbags be killing folk out here....

 

Luck, where the parts go, luck. His suite and gloves got burnt pretty good.

 

What's scary is that the RV to the right of the shot actually had one of the blower restraint straps stuck in the side of it. Jack signed the guy's RV and gave him some merchandise

Metal plating in front of cockpit. And as was mentioned above, luck. ;)

Broken camshaft seems to be what they thought happened. They found one of the restraint strap buckles hit a RV and left a cut in the siding. Jack Beckman signed the guys RV.

It's amazing the amount of damage done by essentally one cylinder not firing....the fuel charge fills that cylinder, then backs up into the blower case, then BOOM...

 

The blower and head straps have saved lives for sure. Back in the late 80s/early 90s, Eddie Hill LAUNCHED a cylinder head into the left lot at Trails. Pure luck it didn't hit anything, just imagine the energy it takes to do that!
