I don't think anyone here is off by a "country mile" if anything, we are ALL probably off by the entire story from the get go....he said that part about the rear tire....that has got EVERYONE, in this thread looking at how this possibly happened, like it was mentioned about investigating arson...
That guy was probably jumping the crap out of it, maybe slammed it on it's side a few times, hit some more jumps and the back finally gave out.... Why not say....hey, that's what started it, it wasn't my fault... It just goes to show how just a little deception can get everyone in a Thread to wonder about that failure, that most likely was caused from jumping and beating the crap out of it...I don't care if the whole dang axle, upper and lower A-arms, and the wheel fall off while I'm making a left hand turn at 15mph, ITS NOT GOING TO ROLL 3 times.... It's just a flat out lie!!!
I LOVE, the idea of installing the GPS tattle tale systems!!! They might cost a bit...but could very well SAVE, your company..heck, they even have a "black box" in my new Chrysler 300.. In the manual it says that law enforcement can request it (for court/investigation) in matters that involve serious accidents.. It tells them everything from were you on the gas, speed, braking, blah, blah, blah....apparently these are getting installed in a lot of newer vehicles, and personally, I don't mind, I don't go breaking the law, and if someones driving 50 mph in a school zone and clips a kid..no witnesses, but swears he was doing 15 mph and rolled 3 times and clipped he kid... I'll damned happy they pull the info out of that box and put that moron away!!! JMHO...to add to that, when my son first turns 16 and gets his license, I will be installing one(gps tattle tale)... It will help keep him honest. & I talked with State Farm Insurance and since they are "new" they are still working out the plans/ideas, but they said if it works out, parents who install them in vehicles that teens are driving it will cut their insurance rates by a veer large margin..The lady said most likely around $75-125 a month cheaper fir a 16 year old, depending on the policy and premiums ect... That's A LOT of money and would pay for itself rather quickly...my son may not like it, but geeez, have you seen what they charge for full coverage for a 16 year old... I was told around $220 a month!!! Yeah, I'll install one, when they make the news rules to lower the rates...
