about as bad a this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkKS7PDLtHAwhere the tow vehicle stalls out like 5 times.
dumbass. how the hell are you gonna stop 4,000lbs with your arm?
Definately a bad move but in all those dudes' defence,it's a natural reaction.I SERIOUSLY doubt that for even a second a person thinks they can hold up a vehicle ,it's just a reaction.I have a picture of a buddy of mine on our first real "official" run about 9 years ago,he was coming up this gnarly hill and at the very top it would throw your vehicle towards the driver's side and damn near put you on your side(quite a few vehicles flopped there that weekend),anyway,I managed to take the picture right as it was gonna go over and he stuck his arm out .We laughed at that all weekend and every now and then I come across the picture it still makes me laugh a little,he brought his arm back in right away and to this day he still says "Ha Ha,what the hell was I thinking?".It's just a reaction,kinda like when you're riding a bike and you're gonna fall over.
This last summer we ran in to a guy with a compound fracture of his forearm when we were near Little Sluice. The guy actually refused the lifeflight heli that was in the air about 5 minutes away. Needless to say the Rangers that called it in were not happy. The guy said he would walk out but later we found out he spent the night. I tell you if it was me, I would be on my way to get that cleaned up before I got a bone infection. :rolleyes: Some gal there was all over him and we also found out she just showed up there. Seemed like she was a girlfriend at the time. She was medically trained or something and she was the one that convinced him to stay. Just too weird for me.
It is dumb but a natural reaction to falling, if you have time your reaction should be to just cross your arms over your chest.
I know its a common reaction but is it just me that when i start to tip I lean the other way and grab onto something... I dont know maybe its the motorcyclist in me but I always lean the opposite way hoping that in some way my bug butt will return balance to the opposite side of the rig.
I have seen penty of other drivers do it in differant rigs, those were just posted in the same area....
