The Mumm 30 Tow Truck was hit
by a smallish ‘twister’ and instead of pulling the canvas off like sane
people would, they simply kept their kite up sailed a complete 360 degree circle
around the circumference of the ‘twister’. The helmsman later commented, “I
didn’t really know what was happening. The luff of the kite kept collapsing so I
kept bearing away to keep it set and before I knew it we had gone a full circle.”
