I was intrigued by the original post by SSSammy

The vernacular presentation suggested to me that the rollover occured prior to the end of the parade. Alas, during the parade, but before the completion of the parade.

So I was interested in knowing how a roll over could occur in a slow paced parade.

There is nothing wrong with proliferating knowledge about an accident. The goverment has numerous agencies to investigate accidents. The main purpose of these investigations is to gain knowledge to prevent future accidents.

If this accident occured on a public road then we do have a right to inquire as to what occured. Unlike what 392cobra said:

I do not think that anyone on this board has anything but best wishes and heart felt prayers for jdean.

If you have such an interest in public events then may I suggest that you try to obtain the accident report.

What part of it did not occur during the parade don't you get.

The incident occured over a mile from the parade after it was over. Why is it so important to you that we chose privacy and the wishes of the family?

I do see that your post count explains why you don't understand and probably justify your curiosity. If John wants the story told he can tell it after he recovers or he can ask me to tell it. I have investigated the accident also and agree with everyone's wishes on what needs or not need to be discussed.

These cars are twitchy, and while you can't flip them going real slow, you can easily flip them on flat curves. This video is a perfect example:

I remember when John got this particular car, and both Excalibur and I had concerns over its "pedigree." That's why I asked about possible mechanical failure.

Some confusion seems to be centered around the vernacular presentation of "subsequent."


subsequent
–adjective
1. occurring or coming later or after (often fol. by to): subsequent events; Example: Subsequent to their arrival in Chicago, they bought a new car.
2. following in order or succession; Example: a subsequent section in a treaty.
[Origin: 1425–75; late ME < L subsequent- (s. of subsequéns), prp. of subsequī to follow close behind, equiv. to sub- sub- + sequ(ī) to follow + -ent- -ent]



P.S. Well said Mr. Wicked.

I recall that this post is under the TCC area of Club Cobra. We didn't report an accident but the condidtion of one of our own. No can of worms just OUR business and our respect for our own.

We could have posted, WE KNOW A SECRET AND IT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS, but we didn't.
