I once blew out my pitch/mod joystick in the middle of a solo

Boy was that something.... I was having a great time with the solo, and when I released the joystick, it slapped back to the left, and just kept on going.....

Clean off the keyboard and into someone sitting at a table near where we were playing.
I had no idea the spring in that stick was even that strong. I could only imagine if something like that happened today.... Imagine if it hit someone in the eye... yeah I would have gotten sued over that one.
