Well, being that nobody was hurt, and we can have a little fun (with this
poor guy's mishap), I've already come to the conclusion that it must've been
a Rotax because none of you guys are mentioning it. : ) Hell, if it had been
a "J" engine, you guys would be all over it. : )

also building a new pair of snow skis do not archive
