Default Re: Ken Etter injured in an accident at Fontana

That Lamb piece looks like s great idea. I guess it is why they have the best stuff. Hopefully everyone will take 5 seconds every month and give that brake pedal a tug. Ironically I had looked at the one in this car before Sonoma. I was going to put a 2step switch in. Everything appeared fine and there was a pedal limiting device in place with a hose clamp. The rod was stock with a rubber grommet on the end. My best guess is the clamp broke or loosened up. I tend to have a heavy brake foot so when I released the pedal it must have popped back hard enough to pull the grommet. I'm just thankful that I was driving and not the car owner. I have about 20 years and some size on him. Might have been a different outcome. My one hope is this has raised some awareness on these safety items and we can make these cars safer for us and the next generation drivers.
