I still have nightmares about the accident I witnessed on a trailer Dyno..

Driveshaft broke on a lifted Chevy truck at about 6000 RPMs. Hit the owner of the Dyno while he was running the machine. Snapped his leg in half like a twig. His shin bone was sticking straight up out of his leg about 6". watching the guy go pail and start to shake was kind of scary. After the driveline hit him it still had enough momentum to roll 50 yards to where my car was resting next in line. Needless to say the Dyno was shut down for the day, and I went else where for the dyno tests.

Be safe out there guys!
