Probably did hit the breaks. Looked like the guy never put the sled in gear. Another good reason to phase out those older sleds where there is no operator on board.
That sure looked like a sled operator error to me. He sure never looked to be putting a load on that truck. It should have had the front tires atleast a foot off the ground down most of that track.
You hook to that sled, you are on your own!!! Its part of the rush of motor sports, gambling big dollars, and your life, for bragging rights.:rockwoot:
Being a X sled owner there are some time things brake the opporator didn't even use any brakes or safty kill's.what happen there was just plain stuppit.If your pulling the sled you can tell if the sleed is loading are not by mid track.
