Man killed by WWII tank at Jelly Belly chairman's house

Authorities said Brasher was driving the military tank through an open field on the property on Abernathy Road. Wright was a passenger and was sitting on the front edge of the tank, facing inward.
But as the tank traveled down a dirt hill, Wright lost his balance, fell backwards and landed directly in front of the tank.

Drugs and alcohol do not appear to have been a factor in the accident, a CHP official said.
Rowland said that once his family realized “the magnitude of what had happened,” they immediately notified authorities. His family is cooperating with the investigation, he said.

And now his friends got to see his belly jelly.
Seriously, that sucks. Riding on the front is not a smart move though. Especially if you aren't in a designated seat. This is definitely a Darwin moment.

Sitting on a tank going down hill sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, so I'm not surprised.
