I think that is such a dangerous situation that people might not want to risk being held liable for having their suggestions be responsible for causing serious injury or death. That needs to be taken to a professional who knows what he is doing and has very good insurance.

I've never seen anything like that before.

That's pretty screwed up. Spring and shock obviously toast. Like Fred, I can think of an idea or two, but there is risk involved. It just depends on how much tension is still there.
