I really can't remember that well but he didn't jerk the wheel. He said it was when he shifted that it jerked a little bit. I remember watching him reach up to catch the wheel when it fell off.

If you watch it started to slowly drift over.

That's why you keep the wheel straight on the dyno

Looks like it needs more straps. I have seen a couple other FWD cars come off the dyno. Its definitely alot different than dynoing a RWD car.

Looked like he turned the wheel and the strap broke.

last time i check when you strap a car on they dyno you dont use two strapes per front/rear, you are supposed to use 4 strapes in a crisscross patter to keep the car from doing that, kinda common sense there or lack of in this case
