Jammed Throttle Deputy Survives Cliff Plunge
Deputy Sheriff Bob Schipper 27 of Leggett escaped a 120 foot cliff plunge when his 1968 sheriff’s car lost control on Highway 101. He credited a safety belt and plastic helmet for saving him after the vehicle struck a tree, burst into flames, and slid to rest. He kicked out the windshield to extinguish the fire, then assisted bystanders in keeping the scene safe. Schipper said throttle jam caused the crash and recalled a near-curve rescue as gas ignited briefly but went out. He noted ribbing from fellow deputies about returning with either a horse or a parachute.
