A good few years ago my dad was nealry killed by a similar accident involving a box taking out the roof on his Sierra. Had it been a couple of inched lower if would have gone thorugh the screen.
Some pople are just too thick to be let loose in society and it's often others who pay the consequence.
Glad you wern't hurt. Are you turning the slide into a twist off ramp ;)

Thanks for the kind thought.
This is the second close call we've had over the past couple of months. The first was the catastrophic failure of the drag link, ball joint on our Disco leaving us with no steering. That happened at speed, on another of our famous Fen roads and we were lucky that we stopped in a straight line.
This "do" with the slide didn't strike me as dangerous at the time. In fact I was in fits of laughter trying to get the dammed thing out from under my truck. But as I often find with close calls, its when you sit down afterwards and reflect on it, that the thoughts about what might have happened come to you.
As for turning the slide into a twist off ramp. I think it may be slightly beyond repair. :grin:

Great story :thumbup:
Had a similar incident last year. We were waiting at a tee junction when a Transit pickup drove past and an arm chair bounced off the back. It landed on its feet right in the middle of the junction. You can just imagine the sight of it... looked like it had been placed very carefully! We quickly moved it off the road and set chase after the truck that hadn't noticed. Managed to flash the lights enough to attract his attention. I suggested in the most polite way that he should learn how to use ropes. He sheepishly turned round to retrieve the missing chair.
