@dwp13my father Dan Walsh, continues to pull. He does well yet : )
-
@Progfan2970 he is my uncle, yes there was of course serious injuries.

A similar incident happened in 1999 in Houston, and the difference there was the tractor didn't overturn, but it launched the tractor nearly into the wall of the Astrodome. By far this was the scariest and most violent accident in tractor pulling. Sad that the Walsh Bros. had to end in this manner, probably one of the most revolutionary tractors to ever compete.

WOW! BOWSERS!

@keira23irishz How serious was his injuries? Dave was such a class act!!
-
Yes I agree Progfan, its sad. And the sled operator was a very very close friend of our family. It was a very sad moment in all of our lives. Dave has watched this video by the way, over and over! Go Irish Challenger : )

It is correct that Dave no longer pulls, but my father Dan Walsh still does.Sad that Daves hobby and love was taken away all becuase the sled operator neglected a problem w/his sled BTW( its says not seriously injured but he was!) Such a sad video, never thought I would see this again. Dan continues to pull, and you will now and then catch Dave on the track with my father like the old days. This was their life, their hobby together... still very sad to this day.

thats my uncle!
No injuries were sustained to my knowledge...except one guy crouched down behind the cattle shoot/wall as it went over it and got a broken nose. This of course was rumor...can anyone verify this?

Indeed...wow, a lot of hits on this Vid thus far. I was a BIG fan of the Walsh bros...and also was disgusted at the facts surrounding the accident and failures of the sled operator. Long live the Irish Challenger!
