At t' time o' staging, t' sustainer motor thrust broke t' motor mount free, forcin' t' motor assembly up t' body tube. Begad! T' resultin' pressure caused t' nose cone t' pop and t' rocket went into t' spin. T' booster and sustainer fell safely in t' grass on either side o' t' road. T' nose cone and parachute were torn off t' tether but landed safely downfield.
