Dangers of Off-Roading

[TC]

I dont do any off-roading or 4x4 driving but found this vid whilst looking for other vehicle related things.

Watch the vid from 0.50.....so so lucky they let the kid out

sounds like it was filmed in the north of England somewhere

Well played. I can bet this guy did what the previous guy you posted did and had the experience to avoid it.

I've just noticed the main difference - the guy in the second vid rolled his jeep uphill sideways so as it started to roll he could easily put the gas on to drive out of his dilemma.

the guy in the first vid - his jeep fell downhill sideways so there was nothing he could do as the momentum was too fast - by the time the vehicle landed on it's wheels it had already gone through 270 degrees.

Both vids are a good example of what too much power can cause in the wrong hands.

This reminds me of the first lesson that I got from my friend Bob who taught me to telemark:

Always fall on your butt!

Knowing how to escape going in might save you coming out.

At 1:22 there's a leg sticking out the back window right before the final roll. That's not good.

Don't even sweat it, the kid that was still in the truck was adopted.
