ANOTHER REASON TO WEAR YOUR TETHER !!

[Powderhound]

As many of you know we had a ridding buddy lose his arm to a spinning track once the sled went upside down and the throttle got pinned. Watch this video and now imagine all the scenarios... This made me sick .. Look how close this guy is to his sled.. Sh!t happens out there, but this does not have to happen.

that story scared me into going to get one, 2 weeks later, my linkage from the throttle bodies to the oil pump came off and was getting caught, causing my sled to go full throttle. happend twice, jumped off, no damage.....towed it to ride the next day.....so tell your buddie, his arm didnt go for no reason. its probably saved a few dozen accidents since.
i printed out the story and brought it to my dealership, they sold a stupid amount of teathers this year.

My sled was equipped with a tether in 2000...have never ridden without it since.
