    TopherV, thanks for posting the video.

    Anyone know what caused the windshield to fly off?

    Aparently the the right side window was open... the windshield is designed to take the pressure from up front, at 150mph the pressure inside the cabin associated with the negaive pressure created on the outside by the fact the widshield is facing the wrong side will tear the windshield like that.

    Thats pretty insane. He handled it very well in my opinion. The airbag cover comes off too, some pretty major wind forces going through that cabin!
