Open mouth gum chomping has to be one of the trashiest looking things a chick can do.

I stick to two rules offroading:
Never get into the passenger seat of a SxS And 2-wheels is always better than 4 when you get into a shitty situation. |

"Everything is great until Paco overestimates his driving abilities..."
I'm convinced that most of these crashes in the gokart ATVs are completely inexperienced offroaders being given the ability to go super fast without the risk of injury that doing the same thing on a dirtbike or fourwheeler has. So they don't really learn "to ride" and read terrain. It's like Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, "You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn’t earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don’t take any responsibility for it." |

Quick roll and done. |

Solid roll cage. Hope he had it insured. ![]() My agent joked that the policy would cover me if I rolled it of a cliff.... makes me wonder how many people do just that when they get tired of the payment on their toy. Its also pretty easy to flip a side by side, the tire set up on mine is for traction not play. It has tons of power but trying to do donuts and what not with it will tip you over in a hurry. I get so much traction I have trouble "drifting" in corners. |

I almost had a head on crash with a RZR in Moab on Gemini Bridges Rd just a few weeks ago. I managed to stop, because I was only going 10mph or so in my truck. The guy barely missed me. He would have lost. I wondered if he had liability insurance on that that thing.

Perfect example of why 5point harnesses need to be TIGHT. Look at how much she moves. Her right shoulder goes all the way between the seat and the door. In the offroad parks around here, the deaths are usually the result of people drowning in overturned units. |

Back when the Yamaha Rhinos first came out, my best friend growing up - his then-finance - got into one with a similar idiot. Ended really badly, with all sorts of surgeries. This was before they started putting nets and doors on them.
I had my own incident once. In a John Deere gator, someone had put a chain on the floorboard. My wife was sitting in the passenger seat holding our son, who was like two maybe. After a few bumps, the end of the chain falls out of the floorboard, and catches one of the tires. Violently, it jerked out the rest of the chain, and almost grabbed her foot. I'm not sure what would have happened had it caught. As it is it broke the hell out of her foot and she was on crutches for over 6 months. |

He's very lucky. He definitely was acting concussed. You really have to watch people close after they have an incident like that. Most people want to jump right up and proclaim they are alright. Lots of times they aren't. |

If that was my daughter or sister I’d be furious. What a fucking dumb ass. She’s lucky her arm didn’t get crushed
