A guy ran over a mattress and decided to keep going. The ensuing jumble whipped around enough to put a tear in his gas tank, the subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to its knees.

It managed to drive 30 more miles decently with 60 lbs. wrapped around the driveshaft.

The genius complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" at high speeds....

Wouldn't you need a tail rotor or something to keep that spinning mass under control? Did you get it all off?

How the crap do you run over a mattress and not know about it?
