It’s a trucker movie. What it was good in doing was explaining the importance of finding the right gear before you begin the decline because it can become too late and brakes cannot save you.

I’m glad you came out of it safe, and with real adrenaline infused experience that will last your life.

1st gear...you must have crawled down. Had I been in your place I would worried about the transmission ability to hold out the whole way down.
