    Well, if you read his other posts he admits to safety seeing it from in-cab camera footage Most cameras I've seen only send in when triggered by a g-force event, otherwise it's simply too much data and too expensive to view remotely. Anyway, he either went over a very bumpy U-turn, or most likely what I'm thinking is he was going around way too fast and tripped the camera. He likely got fired for unsafe driving (turning too fast) more so than the U-turn its self.

    I sat with the safety director and others to view the camera recording, there was no mention of a g-force triggering the event by any party. Plus I came to a stop before I made the u-turn, which nullifies any "g-force". I'll let you speculate and assume anything you would like, i could have likely got fired for personal reasons also, who knows right...I have another job, and it is what it is..so u live and u learn..
