Crash on Black Bear

[pvanweelden]

I didn't think that you were allowed to run backwards. Maybe a special thing just for the 4x4 club?

a club in telluride does it backwards once a year

LOL@ the flat landers.

You wouldn't do well on Saxon Pass above Georgetown then. This is me a few years ago.

That place is beautiful!

I would love to do this up someday! Go up Black Bear, have lunch in Ouray and then head back over Imogene. Man that would be great.

Glad no one was hurt. That sucks!

The video just got posted. It looks like they weren't paying attention, drove up on the left side causing them to roll.

Of course it's easy to say from just observing the video and not being there, but it seems like he had room to stay to the right more and avoid driving up the ledge. like you said, maybe he wasn't paying attention :thinking:

Enjoying the view...it only takes a moment for things to go pear shaped.
In the aviation world, this looks like a classic "loss of situational awareness" incident.
Glad they were OK....could have been a lot worse. Heck, even the JK wasn't as badly hurt is you'd expect.

That's scary! Definitely always use caution with the unknown

Pretty cool guys considering.
I would have screemed like a little girl...

Is there anyone here who has ran this trail and the Morrison Jeep Trail in WY? Wondering how they compare to each other. I've heard the Morrison Trail is worse.

THIS!

Scary video. Glad no one was hurt.

That trail and a few others around it are high on my bucket list. Glad nobody got seriously hurt, trails in that area definitely demand respect.

 

[Jackal01]

Yowza! Driver error indeed.

 

[CharlieK]

Wow crazy ass video. Glad to see nobody was hurt.

Been wanting to try the Morrison trail, but I hate switch backs like that.

From watching all the videos on Black Bear I think the Morrison is more narrower and has tighter switch backs.

I ran the Morrison 2 months ago and it wasn't too bad. Definitely not any room to screw up though.
