Famous Video Clip
Guys,
What's the story behing the famous clip you see all over the web that
has the Ford (?) truck losing brakes and rolling down that GIANT
needle-like rock in Tellico or wherever? I always wondered what the
story was on that. I just ran across it somewhere again and thought
one of you guys might know.
Thanks!
Matt

Re: Famous Video Clip
Was it a Bronco? If so, it was on Lions Back in Moab. Post a link maybe so
we can see what you are reffering to.

Re: Famous Video Clip
This is the same hill - Lions Back in Moab Utah - But a different event.
The one you are referring to I believe was a Bronco that lost it brakes on
the way down.

Re: Famous Video Clip
Heh, I'm pretty sure I know the video you're talking about- and it's got to
be at least 10 years old by now! <g>
The story I heard was that it's a location where thrill-seekers would drive
to the top and slowly ride their brakes down it. That particular truck's
brakes failed (duh) and the emergency cable couldn't handle it so both
occupants went tumbling and bouncing down, and rolled at the bottom if I
remember correctly. Neither of them were killed, fortunately. I remember
seeing that on a TV show, like That's Incredible or something hehe. (It does
seem to be that long ago)
