Brian forwarded these videos. What he was hoping they might stimulate are some comments about what might have been done differently .  Of course, it would be easy to poke fun at the driver’s, but in some cases they might not have known better.  So, maybe with some videos like this we can generate some teachable moments.

So, for example, Brian pondered the following contributing factors to the below accident:

(a) Lack of concern and respect of the trail leading to no trail spotter?
(b) Driver failing to understand center of gravity of Jeep ~VS~ gravity.
(c) Failing to recognize trail surface was equal to ball-bearings.
(d) The jeep seemed to be holding the hill before reversing. Driver failed to place jeep in revers and power out. (Related all above)

If you find a non-racing, non-stupidity-drinking back yard yahoo video, just guys/gals on the trail with factors that lead to misfortune, email it to me at d@ewillys.com.

Brian also shared this one, which demonstrates that even the woman running the camera knew this wasn’t a good idea.
