A tragedy for sure... wouldn't you think though that you would notice A, the throttle notching as you pulled it back thinking you should be in dynamic (no notches) and the FDL winding up to full RPM as opposed to, what notch 3 or 4 that it goes to when placed into dynamic, regardless of the amount of resistance called for? I suppose if it was only 66 seconds thats not very long, but maybe long enough to realize something wasn't right?
