    I felt sick watching that. Maybe I'm strange, but I don't see anything funny about it like half the people who commented on it on youtube.

    In hindsight, I'm sure they would realise how they could have managed the situation a whole lot better and it was a genuinely unfortunate accident as a result of compounding factors. I do find some amusement in why he was going back down the hill though - to snatch the Toyota that couldn't make it up .

    Hope we can all learn something from watching it.

    obviously we all hope no one was hurt...

    the fancy roll-up awning thingy and roof bars got left on side of the track - and those trees down the hill did a good job stopping all from getting worse

    oh well, no wonder insurance premiums continue to increase

    It does show easily things can go wrong and how readily a 4wd will go over. I was climbing a steep hill one day in the disco, got to the top lost all power and traction and went down the bakwards way too fast. All the time this video was going through my head.

    I should say too that if the track is rutted, stay in the ruts! Probably something everyone knows, but train tracking down hill in the ruts is much safer than trying to ride the tops.
