Soviet Steeds

Oh crap!!! scary indeed. Good thing you and your boy are ok. That would definitely do it. The wheel just rides along the shaft with nothing to stop its travel. Yikes.

Give that man a Ural! Or at least a foil hat.

Obviously Brian had to speed up significantly to get these pics!!!!

From looking at this the inner (right side) pistons weren't working.
