Nope, the bucket was still in the air. I've watched from 1:46 to 1:50 many times trying to figure out what it was that kept it from going over
.... I think it was nothing but dumb luck!
What a wreck if it had gone over... that top is fiberglass and the added accessories - dual screen, air cleaners & exhaust tip are cast in resin, they would have shattered! Also, that vertical spin motor drive, could have done serious damage to that component too.
Stupid Stupid Stupid!!!
That undercarriage is all 5mm steel and is more than half the weight of the entire model.
