Yes that's what I'm saying. I used to service them with Parker Hydraulics. Most of them have a centrifugal clutch and you need to floor the gas to grip in. What I mean is that this bloke would have floored it for a fair amount of time before it took off so he had plenty of time to think about what he was doing. But he clearly didn't have the brain capacity.
