Default Help Throttle stopped working???

I have a 1997 Dyna glide, today I layed er down in the backyard by accident(No damage) but when I got back on the throttle is completely disconnected from the cables, is this some sort of safety device? How do I reset the cables or how do I fix it Please let me know



Thanks

Take off the rs grip and see if any damage occured to the throttle tube. I would replace the throttle cables if there is any sighn of damage.

Could be as simple as the connection popping off, or as Boxjoint said you could have snapped the cable off.
