Those couple of ominous little misfires just before it fell off makes me wonder if the motor wasn't in the early stages of grenading - maybe his woes are worse than he thinks......

it amazes me why the rolling road manufacturers dont make the roads fall off safe. we use 4 of them at work and none of the cars are tied with any straps or anything. we use an extra couple of rollers to keep it on the drums. the sideways movement is via a mushroom roller which bounces the car back to the center of the drum so it cant fall off unless the driver was behaving like a right dick.

bad design
