Default To much skinny pedal may get you in trouble.

Or you may make it through with no damage.

That one needs a warning that says all feet and arms to remain inside the vehicle at all times.

yeah, its a must to keep everything in the vehicle, its hard to do when rolling, but you must. weve rolled a few times and almost every couple weekends lately theres been a rollover, just so happened last weekend a small enough rock stuck far enough thru his buggies full cage as he was holding his wheel and it hit his arm and broke it.

Doesn't sound like there's anything he could have done. That sucks.

On the other hand, the folks in this video were just asking for it, although I'm glad they weren't hurt!

Natural selection fail.......

It's good to test your boundaries and develop new skills but this was just reckless on both the driver and the group telling the driver they could handle the trail. I am glad it all worked out but if i saw this i would never wheel with the person again.

Thats just plain dangerous and stupid. Keep driving like that on someone will get hurt and a jeep will be severly damaged. You need to tie that foot to the seat bracket so you can't stick it out like that.
