Thats what will happen if the sled is not working/malfinctioning. I have seen it hapen a few times where the sled malfinctioned, but every time I have seen it they had a shut down area. Also, where was the flag man, he should have stopped that before he got 150' down the track without the weight box moving.

That is 100% the sled operators fault.

I'll bet at about the 120' mark the driver thought he was on his way to the best hook of his life. by 150' he knew he was in for a ride.

I have not had a sled malfunction on me. But my friend has. And it just took off like a dragster but everyone got out of the way. It had plenty of room and not a hill to ramp till it eventually slowd down.
