Well... gimped away, huh? 
Good to know he was alright. I mentioned seeing the vid many times, but it never had a description of the incident. Thanks for the update.

I've seen that video before also, but my understanding is that the man who got hit was killed. I hope that you are correct and the story I heard was wrong, but it was in a post some time back and a few members thought it was in bad taste to post it since the man was killed.
Like I said...I hope I was misinformed.

Who cares about the leg, think about what it did to the paint!
