Star Harness and no possibility of animal dragging remains on discovery channel  I just watched the special on Discovery Channel on Steve Fosset titled Steve FossettWhat Went Wrong In it they mostly agree with this page except for one crucial detail The last line on the page says Madera County Sheriff John Anderson said Fossett would have died on impact adding that it was not unusual for animals to drag away remains This was shown to be not true on the documentary The plane had a five point harness which is known for its central buckle with five clips that go in to it It was pointed out that in the wreckage the five buckles were found released from the harness This harness is special in that you have to twist it to unbuckle it There is no possible way an animal could have undone this The only way it could have happened would be that the animal would have to eat him out of the harness and then drag whats left the couple miles which as it sounds is extremely unlikely It was also pointed out that in the direct direction he was heading was a known path and that he also knew the area well that is used every day by hikers and his remains were only a mile or so away from it I am going to modify the article with this information
