Re: Ken Etter injured in an accident at Fontana
The brake rod came out of the master cylinder. The safety braket came out or slipped allowing it to pop out. I down shifted the car to low and shut off the fuel pump, then I tried to veer to the left and scrub speed off the wall. After viewing the pictures and limited memory, I don't know how I survived the accident. I have a unique persperctive on some safety practices and policy's. The stock seat did a good job of holding me but could have been better if it had been a actual racing seat. The roll bar also came forward 8 to 10 inches allowing the straps to loosen up moving me forward at impact. When I feel better I will expand on my thoughts so no one should ever have to go through the pain and suffering I am going through now. I have a couple of tough months ahead of me but hope to be out there soon to visit with all of you. Thank you for your support.
