Angry A friend rolled his Jeep twice

Hi guys,

just made a video of the Jeep which my mate rolled twice. He is talking about his experience. It's pretty scary stuff and can happen completely unexpected.

We are not 100% sure what caused the wheel to come off yet, but investigating with an engineer.

Most of you already know, but please check your wheels, studs, lugs and hubs (hub centric) regularly and before every major trip. After this accident I brought my Jeep to a professional to double check everything, just to make sure everything is ok and for abit more piece of mind.

I used to see a rollover every weekend damn near. Max was probably 3 or 4 in one day. It can happen very easily in many scenarios. Yes some I've seen deserved to roll, but many were just bad luck also. I cant believe i dont see more come up here and there...
