messed up arm

Tried to tow the 356 a short distance w/ my riding mower, had tow strap attached too high, mower instantly flipped. Didn't crush me, but when I landed hit my arm pretty bad.

After xrays, nothing broke but lots of soft tissue damage....

Arm is mostly pain free but I don't have full range of motion w/o shooting intense pain.

Just a reminder to be safe!

I noticed that as well but I had too much tact to point it out.

The wheels system is a very good lever system. My father used to tell me about certain tractors had the hitch point too high and would flip if loaded too much.

Well the cat's out of the bag.
Sorry to hear about your arm. hopefully nothing else gets sore in the coming days. I think most dedicated tow tractors tow from below the axles (just thinking yellow gear for aircraft).

Well, somebody needs to say it:
Thank goodness it wasn't any worse. You could have damaged the car!
Glad to hear you're O.K.
