    Holy crap. I hope they were ok 😮 I think any 4wd would have been flat after that roll over.

    Have a look at a few of the comments... Looks like the guys survived.

    Reading comments on the full version of the video, he snapped the front right axle after the first bounce and then the distributor cap came loose leaving the car in that situation...immobile, and in 3wd
    Given that info... Look at the video again...
    Contrary to popular opinion, momentum is NOT always the key.
    I sincerely hope the driver is ok

    How true about momentum There is a time and a place for momentum and not climbing hills in that sort of hilly country is a start .
    Im glad they survived but yes it can turn pear shape real quickly

    Highlights the importance of picking the right line, driving it steady and to your own ability.

    He bounced off his line pretty quickly and got crossed over. The risks of 4wding!!

    Also highlights the importance of securing cargo, there's some huge boxes strewn about the track

    so stupid, so preventable.

    he's gets told not to move. any moron can see he is close to tipping.
    he moves a little.
    he moves a second time.
    just for fun, he moves a third time. and it rolls.

    i have no sympathy for this dickhead.
