I witnessed a sled pull go bad 26 years ago. The weight did not move foward and when the sled operator pulled the kill rope everything stopped except the weight. It took off. The weight stopped on the rear tires of the tractor just inches from the man driving the rig. This happened at East Alabama motor speedway.



I know things happen fast but you would think the sled operator would have a way to signal the driver to slow it down gradually.
