NYV6Coupe is on a distinguished road
I picked-up a PC last year & was using it for the 2nd or 3rd time when my story occured.

I was using a 6.5" LC pad & speed was 5 - 5.5 and the extension cord got caught under a tire and unplugged the PC when I gave it a subtle yank.

I set the PC down (pad facing up) and reconnected the extension cord which, naturally, fired-up the PC. I found out that the velcro will hold the pad on the backing plate for only so long.

First, I found out what "slinging" meant and then the pad launched into the snowthrower, off the wall, just missed the car & ended up on the front lawn .... pad facing up.

Guess the beveled edge of the LC pad made it kind of aerodynamic & it did a pretty good impression of a Frisbee.

Some lessons you just have to learn the hardway.
