When Things Go Wrong

As much as that sucks I did crab walk it myself when I was there but I had a better spotter (Eddie and tony) and didn't start from that far back

Hate to break it to you but that is the line, and she knew what she was doing. If memory serves, she is plenty experienced.

Personally, I think the crab walk is stupid because so much is left to chance. I'd rather blast up the "V" like Cindy did in a recent Moab video.

This is on Pritchett.

Ahh. Thanks for the correction, my mistake!
 
Certainly took a long time to kill the engine...also seemed like he could have aired down a bit more...excessive skinny pedal when the rig started to walk sideways

Jesus Christ. Too many things to list. Almost need a heads up on the dog screaming for this video. I'd rather hear the jeep noises all day long then another second of the dog yelping.

Hard to tell from the camera angle what that obstacle looks like and what went wrong. Seems like his rear driver tire got hung up on something and turned the jeep sideways. This plus giving it gas was a bad combo.

The line was correct at first, this is going on every single video I have seen on this obstacle, but one thing I don't think many of you noticed is that right before he went over his wheel started to straighten. With thay said I agree with coz I never understood why they start people from thay far over right there. But again not ran it yet .

You can stop watching after the first couple minutes. Nothing else really happens after that. They get her out and looks like she has a busted arm.

From the comments...quite a bit more than just a busted arm.


She DID have a seatbelt on. we had to cut it to get her out of the buggy. dude kicked in rear steer to show off his buggy and she didn't know how to use it. simple mistake. most of you would do the same. As for my buddy Greg and the belt, she was bleeding A LOT. degloved her hand between the roll bar and rock. stretched her wrist about 6 inches longer than it should have been and ripped all the skin up to her fingers. Granted she may not have needed it at the time, we did what we could to help her.
