Dean,

Did they make you pay for a new strap :) I saw it melt through the blue one they used :)
The guy just held it up with a funny look on his face... like 'what the heck is this mini runnin'" :)

Peter.

That blue strap was badly freyed in multiple sections. It was dangerous and stupid of them to be using it in the first place. Especially when there were about 5 small children sitting down right in front of the car. Idiots.

The operators seemed either very stressed, or were very amateur.

I dunno... maybe a bit of both... But I have to admit they did try hard... there was no lack of effort there.. So I congratulate them on that
