A fan blade to the forehead thats got to hurt....

 

[jerrym3]

Yes, 1957.

 

[FEandGoingBroke]

Yep a 57. Both cool articles! I get nervous around steel fans fo rthat reason...

Wow and what are the chances of a fan blade coming off!

Cool little pedal car.

Old habit...always check the fan blade and belts.

Bad day to take a fan blade in the forehead. Somebody didn't tell him that statically, the blades usually go down.

Back in the day when Ford recalled half a million cars to replace the fan blades.

I had a high school friend who lost an eye due to an exploding fan - it happened right in the school automotive shop. Scary stuff.

Back on topic, that 57 pedal car sure is cool!
