I almost jumped out of my seat when that arm shot out! I think we also learned how luggage gets lost. That one bag got missed and off it went on a frolic of its own
At Ohare the whack o matic is suspended at 40' in the air. Imagine what happens when a snag happens and the bag launches over the ended and down to the ground? Incidentally, I saw the SAA boys unloading bags in Bulawayo by throwing them 15'-18' off the jet too.
There are a hundred ways to break a gun from shock drops on each trip, another 200 more if you leave the scope on and don't have the gun compression fit into its own area of a case.
The saddest part is that rifle was truly a work of art that now needs a restock. Absolutely exquisite.
