What happened last night in Chapel Hill? I seen the picture and seen that it was due to a sled breakage does anyone have any more details? Gordon Cox For The Love Of Pulling [www.facebook.com] [fortheloveofpulling.godaddysites.com] |

Slow mo video looked like rod thru pan, oil blew out then lit up, or pan ruptured but huge ammount of oil was discharging before flash fire |

They said a sprocket broke on the sled. I would guess as fast as Bone Twister was moving when he stopped, the pan dropped and sled stopped. The chain drive sprocket stripped the teeth off from the weight and forward movement of the box. |

So I wonder if there was two different issues then, or did the sudden stoppage lead to the water injection issue and fire ball? Gordon Cox For The Love Of Pulling [www.facebook.com] [fortheloveofpulling.godaddysites.com] |

Word is the lack of water was the only reason for the fire,.....jury still out if there is a sled defect ….. |

It would have to strip/break two sprockets for box to release like that and not an easy fix at all. It was fixed for last night so probably was something a lot simpler than that. |

Is there any video of this pass floating around anywhere? |

Was told Bone Twister had a broke/loose water injection line. Sprocket broke when it came to a sudden stop. Box hit the front hard. |
