    I just saw that same video last night.

    Yeah, I'm glad we didn't have anything too nasty happen. A few of us (me, Joe, others) had some close calls though! I got my VX up on 2 wheels, the front two, when I tried backing out of a hot tub on Hell's revenge. Quite a rush when you feel that happening!

    Lately, I've watched many videos on YouTube regarding MOAB accidents with a different variety of vehicle makes/models. The most common cause has been way too much skinny-pedal input (go figure). It's always better to crawl, than sprawl.

    Ya, not sure why he thought it was cool to just floor on ahead, and no spotter at that.

    That link on the right side of the page to the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited flipping over backwards on Hells Gate is particularly carnage-filled. Check it out if you haven't already.

    It basically comes down to knowing your vehicles abilities and limitations, picking a line that will work for your vehicle and if needed having a competant spotter that you trust and listen to.
