As sad as this is, it could have gone really bad...impaled on the steering column doesn't sound just right though when you consider the set up of a hydraulic helm...
Anyway, good to hear your friend has a chance of recovery w/some serious mending along the way...
This just points out once again...when we trust our lives and saftey to things mechanical, we are at some level of risk...I ain't stoppin' though and I don't expect anybody else will either...
One thing, the author of that news article did a good job of structuring what happened...well written...sometimes you read a news description of an event and left wondering WTF?...
Happy boatin' guys...just keep on takin' care of your stuff...
