Yeah that's why I got outta bikes and back into jeeps cause she seen to many things. Just like recently we go a indoor trampoline park in town. Everyday people in with neck and back injuries. They still go back lol

Yeah I must admit I've had the instinct to do that as well...but then my common sence says, 4000lbs vs. My 150lbs. It's not going to happen. That's why if your worried about getting scratches or dents offroad you just don't go offroad unless you, have the money to fix your damage, or get over it and stop giving a shit.

Too bad... guess it's a reminder to all of us to keep our hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times!
