Guy in wheelchair goes for one helluva ride

This is one crazy story about guy who got stuck on the front of an 18-wheeler and went on a 50 mph ride. Must have been a wild one.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. --A 21-year-old man got the ride of a lifetime when his electric wheelchair became lodged in the grille of a semitrailer and was pushed down a highway for several miles at about 50 mph.

Ben Carpenter was unharmed but was taken to a hospital as a precaution. He had been secured to his wheelchair by a seat belt. Carpenter, who has muscular dystrophy, told a television station that he thought he might not make it through the ride.

"I was probably thinking that this is going to keep going and not stop anywhere, 50 or 60 miles somewhere," he told WOOD-TV of Grand Rapids.

It must have been a while ride. When I read the story, I kept thinking how screwed this guy would have been had it happened in Pennsylvania - my state has more potholes than a beach got sand.
