That was retribution for cutting a large enough hole in one end so the guys could get inside and roll it down hill in the first place causing it to loose half its core.
Those wooden spools have feelings too you know.

For when there are no hills nearby.

When I was about 4 or 5 years old, some other kids and myself were playing around a big hole in the ground which had been dug for a basement of a new house. Nearby there was an empty 45 gallon drum with one end cut out, for fun we decided to roll it down the slope of the excavation with one of us in it, it came about that I would be the first one to get the ride. What a ride that was, I'll never forget it. Needless to say, after that none of the other kids wanted to experience the "thrill" of a ride to the bottom.
