So what did it feel like? Getting hit by a moving brick wall? Or more like a gust of wind that instantly turned into a hurricane?
I was on one side of the tug, thought I was far enough away. Next thing I know I flying off the tug on the passenger side. Hurt like hell. I was running right at the govenor which limits it to like 15mph. I didn't really "feel" anything until I was bouncing off the ramp. How I didn't get hurt is beyond me. I wouldn't suggest anybody my little stunt. Since then I give them a bit more respect whenever I'm at the terminal.
