Isn’t the purpose of this forum to speculate about aircraft incidents?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
No. The amateurs might think the purpose is to speculate but the professionals hope to see what factual information, or observations, are presented.
Anyone can play the game of "let's speculate" or "let's assume" -
I heard the guy was born in the western portion of the U.S. and those people have noticeably lower left shoulders. It's from carrying surf boards instead of going to school. From a pilots perspective the danger is that his hand subconsciously sags on the rudder tiller and his pinky finger might have gotten caught on the tiller. During the subsequent abort he had the choice of amputating his finger or 'giving' and turning the tiller left, which resulted in the runway departure.
Now, you can't say for a fact that he didn't get his hand caught on the tiller, can you? So the possibility exists that the event did occur in this fashion.
Yeah, let's run with that scenario.
