Professor Allen, 

I've seen one guy diving a Tekna DV-3X with aluminum blades. He had a 
standard stock clutch (not one of the Ajax Slip clutches). His 
scooter stuck on. Somehow he got his hand in the blades. He was in 
serious pain after the dive.

You're right, it wasn't a chevy, but he wasn't happy regardless.
