I hit the chair dead on center and it basically EXPLODED like a bomb went off all around me .. i was wearing boots and my leathers .. parts hit my legs and feet .. i didn't go down and was kind of in shock over the whole thing .. I continued on another couple miles and when i finally went to make a right onto a road i was needing to turn at .. the bike wobbled all over i brought it to a stop and checked out what had happened .. it actually pancaked the rim and blew off the lowers .. the tire stayed in an inflated size because of rotating inertia .. pretty cool .. and ICBC the local insurance company even covered all repairs after an argument as to who's fault it was by me arguing that if the owner of the chair had stayed it would have been their fault.. and in the same vein ..if another driver had got the owners license plate they still would have been at fault . and that just because I nor anyone else had the owners ID it wasn't my fault .. I won the file ..
Many years ago I had an acquaintance that had recently finished therapy to learn to walk again before I met him. He had spent a year in a full body cast.

Apparently, he was riding his dirt bike in the desert when he jumped over a sand dune only to come crashing down into a refrigerator / freezer that someone had dumped out there.
