[blackviper]

Wow! that was insanely violent.

 

[71dusterjon]

who knew a clutch could do that.

 

[WearyMicrobe]

Crap, there is no scatter shield on the truck from the factory.

I had no idea a clutch could do that, I have only seen them on drag cars where there are huge blankets or shields.

 

[Stanimal]

perfect reason for a scatter shield.

That is insane! I'm curious about the airbags too. I think it's messed up that they deployed it if was not a collision. Those things are pricey to replace. This whole thing is going to cost a ton to fix. Hope he came out of it OK though, and with all his toes still in place.
