Thats me rolling off Not Yet hill. 3 1/2 rolls to get back down it the hard way. Got a concussion from it and a cut finger. Drove the buggy for a few hours after the roll and back to camp. Have to replace the roof and fix front tire that keeps going flat. Both rear tires were popped in the rolls but was able to air them up and continue to ride.

I've been busted up by a passengers hand during a roll before.

After, I said "hey see that Oh S$%# bar with Handle bar grips on it!....Well it works best when you don't let go!" Me with blood running out of my mouth and his hand in need of stiches.

Glad to hear your o.k. That is some great footage.

Hey D try loading a few of your Vids to Putfile...Looks like they can handle large file size for high quality vids

I enjoy the guy who pointed out " yep he's gone" after you were well into your 2nd roll.

Did you bust your legs up? I added a strong strap slighty above normal leg height, about mid shin from one side of the rail to the other.

In theory, if a leg starts frailing the strap should at least contain a leg or two from banging the lower windsheild bar and or crossbracing.

Roy, good to see you are around hadn't seen you in a while. Your right if your going to climb sometimes gravity will bite you in the a$$. Wicked_spider, Bump on the head that has lasted awhile now (Severe concussion as I found out at the hospital three days later) was from hitting a rock on the way down rolling. Rollcage held up but the top caved in from the rock hitting me in the head. Had one small bruise on my right knee fom hitting the gear shift I guess.
I have had to get several CAT scans since the wreck, one impact on my heaad was enought to cause bleeding. Third day(monday) when I couldn't stand up from being dizzy. I missed two weeks of school which isn't good.

This is the picture of the top of the hill. That lip on the right side pitched me over to the side. Just one of the things when you climb, like Roy said, your going to roll sooner or later.
