According to CNN, which received the report through a public records request, it states that Renner's PistenBully snow groomer, which weighs at least 14,330 pounds, as reported by Fox Business, started sliding towards the actor's grown nephew, "causing Renner to exit the vehicle without setting the emergency brake."My .02…
A newer Piston Bully doesn’t have safety switches on the doors, whereas a Prinoth does. On the Prinoth, when either door opens, the E-Brake engages automatically & the machine will not move until the E-Brake release button is pressed. On the Piston Bully, the E-Brake engages when you turn the switch on & disengages when you turn it off. Both brands will move via gravity without applying power to the tracks, coasting if you will, if the brake is off.
Let’s just say (w/Prinoth) l used to feel comfortable standing on the tracks draining the bladder with a door open. Not so much with the Piston Bully. ?
I think he exited the Piston Bully?(?) for some reason without applying the E-Brake, then it started to roll & the only way to get into the cab is from on the track, which is now moving, it took him under & most likely the bogies. ?
The report further states, "Although the Pistenbully had some mechanical issues, it is believed based on our mechanical inspection that the parking brake would keep the Pistenbully from moving forward. When Renner attempted to stop or divert the Pistenbully to avoid injury to (his nephew), he was pulled under the vehicle by the track and run over.”
