I hear what your saying but you still don't wanna be sticking your hand out, just last weekend at Calrocks a competitor was basically rolling over but not quite flopped and the guy was sitting there with his whole arm hanging out the top of his rig... until everyone started yelling at him to put his arm back inside. I guess he felt safe sitting there, but even the littlest slip would have crushed his arm.

Yup,it's true...What I'm saying though,is that it's a quick reaction people have.There's no way in hell that a person's arm would hold a vehicle up.I'ts just a reaction.I don't think they actually think theyre gonna stop the flop,most people quickly pull their arm right back in as soon as they realize what they are doing.
