And the winner is: The Genie II

One day, while flying the N. Side of the Point of the Mountain, I landed and a young gentleman came up to me and said "hey, that guy hit your truck and I think he is hurt." I found the pilot, a rather big guy(about 200lbs.) sitting on the ground. It turns out that he was finishing a rather tight turn, when he met with my 90 Toyota. My dog Snoopy was sitting inside and when I got to her, she was covered with broken glass and she was shaking.

I explained to her, that it was not her fault. Upon checking over the pilot, a sprained ankle was revealed. It turns out that he hit his foot on the rear view mirror. (I duct taped one on, that's what you see in the picture). We got him some crutches despite his preference for pogoing around on one foot and he got on an airplane and flew away. He apparently flew later that week. Now, have a look at the truck. $4000 worth of damage. It's dented under the king cab window, on the roof, the door (of course) and on and on. The pilot was wearing the Genie II harness (DHV cert. 22 cm back pro) which has a reserve under the seat and big side protection. As for my truck. It still looks the same....
