Ouch! They obviously overlooked attaching the front straps.

That thing was making some serious power before its demise.

I always wondered what would happen if one got away......I've never seen a dyno elevated like that...not that I am an expert on dynos....


Thanks for sharing

that Subaru had a hand grenade chip in it I'm sure.....and the guys standing by are amateurs....my dyno guy uses the same elevated rig...but there are diagonal straps at the front and diagonal CHAINS on the rear corners...he tests drag equipment up to 2000 hp.....

That is the problem when you make things too cheap, they are accessable by morons.

"Hi Geico Auto Insurance? Is this the Gecko? I love that dude....yeah, me and my buddies were dyno-testing my car - we just installed some rad NOS and wanted to dial our fly-*** ride in...well, Freddie was hitting it hard on the dyno in between bong hits and we thought that we strapped it - my fly ride that is, down real good and stuff...but I guess the rope we used didn't hold and my ride flew off the dyno. Can you send over a tow truck and a crane? What's that? You don't cover self-inflicted acts of stupidity? What does that mean?"

here's a similar situation where the dyno operators escaped what could have been deadly consequences, but with much less damage to the car.R32 Dyno Crash
