Usually sounds a lot worse than it is, have you checked for damage? You may be ok.

But they don't use grit any more, at least not around here. They use rock salt. which really shouldn't be a problem unless you are travelling at mach2.

Grit was a barstewards when they did use it though. :fighting:
