Not near as scary but the old cable telavision hookups to houses here were direct to TV, Had this guy come up to us and he could barely catch his breath he was laughing so hard. He was watching sports when his TV went racing across his living room then nail the wall, we drove by with truck hooked the cable wire and pulled it to the job site. Same thing hidden in trees. Glad your ok, makes you think though.
