And a bunch of monkeys ignore the "Stay Behind" safety chain.

There's more than one way to cull the gene pool...

Wow. So the strap failed, and he locked up the brakes, melting them?

 

[NotSo]

Ear protection? Safety glasses? It seems their safety rules are like Florida driving laws, just suggestions.

Purple muscle car? Uh, no thanks.

 

[Desperado]

Never underestimate the stupidity level of a bunch of stupid people in a group.
For some reson, stupidity raises exponentially in a group.

BTW, to quote a friend: "I've never seen a dynomometer win a race."

Me: "You know 'Dodge' and 'avoid' are synonyms?"

 

[TonyC2639]

Yeah I don't understand what happened there. Who locked up the brakes?

 

[Czechbikr]

I was waiting for the tires to lite up.

They should have used CO2

It actually looked like the caliber broke loose from the caliper mount and wedged between the wheel and the rotor. That's what caused all the sparks and the rotor to glow bright orange. Also, most likely one of the brake lines broke and splattered fluid onto the rotor and then ignited. Either that or one of the fezter valves cut loose and penetrated the muffler bearings causing the turbo encabulator to flambé the halogen fluid. Very dangerous.

Bingo. Best guess I read until this was when the strap or the hardware attached to it broke, it damaged the brake. Turbo encabulator seems the most likely cause.
