A friend of mine that I taught mechanics to told a story about a runaway diesel at his college one day. The instructor finally threw a 3" thick phone book on the air intake. That finally stopped it, but not before sucking a big round hole right out of that phone book.

Another racer friend told me about a boat racer that was killed when he was knocked out of his seat and landed on top of the engine/injector stacks while the engine was turning around nine grand. God, can you imagine??
