Parade of vehicles behind us.

After the parade we were going to give more rides. While I went out to recruit passengers, Dave did a few donuts in a parking lot. Because of the new wheels, he was able to move much faster than in the past. Since I was not on the Frog, the center of gravity was shifted to his side. Plus he was making turns that caused the vehicle to lean toward him. And to make things worse, the parking lot was slanted. All of these factors combined together, and the Frog tipped over on its side. This had never happened before and came as a bit of a shock. Dave was fully inside the "cage" of the machine. But he cut his thumb on something and bled a bit. Fortunately that was the worst of it. There was also a small bit of damage to Frogasaurus Rex, but that was easily repaired.

I doubt we could have gotten any riders at that point. But we didn't try.

To avoid this from happening again we have decided to avoid fast donuts when there is only one pilot in the Frog.
