A Mooney mechanic friend took a look at the pics and he figures that it was a combination of the mass of the engine, plus the sturdy steel cage in the Mooney. Mooney has a steel cage? Yep.

Somebody up there must have been watching out for this pilot. He and his passenger both lived. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) It has to be the truck in the background!
