We went on a 2 day and 3 tractor pulls in the weekend, and at our second pull my pops almost flipped on his side with the tractor, it hooked hard to the left and when it did the tire hit the sled causing the left rear to come off the ground about 12 inches or so and tore up the rim and possibly more will find out later today the total damage.
Here is a pic of the tractor as it is hitting the sled you can already see the tire is bent in at the top and dad is gettin trown out toward the right side in the roll cage, which he hit hard he has a bruise on his ribs on the right about 8inches round.

Glad he's ok. A few bruises are nothing compared to what used to happen when pulling tractors used to have accidents

I tell ya when I seen about 12 inches of air under the tire I thought he was gonna flip on his side and the roolcage was hopefully gonna do its job and I honest to GERD got sick to my stomach when I seen it happen, scares the shit right outta ya.
