Yup. that is why I never carried them. I have been in pursuits where the suspects try to run over the officer deploying the spike strip.

Scary. Really scary. I wonder how bad the officer was hurt? Hopefully they caught the driver....

His condition is in the link provided. Hate to see things like this happen. Got to be careful out there. Man that had to hurt.

I had a hard time watching that, it broke his leg for sure, he was lucky to not have been killed.

Tragic..that's why they've been training to use cover to deploy spikes for years. Don't be this guy. That string is way longer than needed for you to hide behind a car/concrete post.

A LEO friend showed me this awhile back. Harder to watch the second time than it was the first. Stay safe out there guys.
