Rubbery Ramp Sled

Grrrk! Carried my wrestled strip of thick rubber conveyor belt up the steep iron sorting ramp. Chk-chk! Smooth greasy surface sloping straight down! I did not tiptoe down the metal incline. I slapped the rubber slab flat on the slick diamond plate, plopped my heavy armored rear right in the center, and clamped both clawed hands tight around the curled front edge. *WHSHHH-CLATTER!* Down I shot like a runaway torpedo, rubber screaming over greasy steel, sparks spitting beneath the seam! The slide slammed dead into a gravel berm with a violent thump, tossing me headfirst into a heap of rusted hex nuts. Fast noisy transport conquered! Grrr!
