If you’re gonna you better have a good roll bar

[@EyebrowsMahoney]

​@spencebrooks7187, you should always offroad with adequate roll cages. Always. If you have a chance of rolling, even with a vehicle that doesn't have a removable top... that roof almost always crushes like a tin can.

Matt so glad to hear she is still doing well. This was for sure one of the worst rollovers I have ever been apart of. All of us @bsfrecoveryteam wish Susan and family the best.

Thank you guys so much for handling the medical side of this so effortlessly. I can't handle those situations well.

Susan sounds like one heck of a person. Glad she’s ok. The off road/wheeling community is better than any other community. Keep up the content.

An example of why communication is important and being explicit when a guide. Dont say 'recommend you dont' or 'if not comfortable' You say, need x build and y experience. This is what is on the section.

Yah bud this is America it's not his life he's putting at risk not his decision let people push themselves to grow their abilities. Just like smoking or drinking it's horrible for you but should the government be able to tell you you can't do it?

[@russelljacob7955]

@@zacharywiggins3768 If they are organizers and acting as a guide, then they take on liability. It also isnt just them. Somebody drunk or gets stoned in their house vs doing it while behind the wheel for example. The law is less about protecting them, more about protecting those around then. Is like what I say as a rider who sees other motorcyclists being stupid. I dont care what they do. They go and kill themselves, is their choice. But they decide to wipe out and put themselves under the wheels of a semi on the highway? Semi driver has to live with those memories and if rider lives, everybody else has to deal with taking care of em for rest of their life. So yeah, tell them no because were a lot of other trail users who had their day ruined because organizers didnt ensure proper responsibility. Go to a track day. Cars are checked. If not suitable for track? They wont let you on. Miss drivers session? Too bad. Come back next time.

I'm watching this video while listening to "She's Nubs" by NOFX in the background

[@stuffhappens5681]

I’m thinking virtual off-roading might be a better idea for her

[@russelljacob7955]

No, that isnt the answer. What is best is to consider strengths and weaknesses and build accordingly. Showing off and safe rarely go together. Unfortunately the trail guides responsible for this group let a person put themselves into a situation. A steep climb on a short wheelbase jeep not configured for if things go bad is not on her, it is on the guides.

[@CarswithNash]

I always have to wonder when I hear stories like this... her one good arm... WHY?! So sad, glad to hear she isn't quitting.

[@chadsmallwood3668]

Good to see bleepin Matt on here again!

[@Psyco913]

Having the presence of mind to throw it in reverse and hit the gas when the front end starts lifting is already asking a lot of the average wheeler. To manage that with an H pattern shifter adds another level of complexity. To pull it off with one arm would probably require hours of practicing for that specific situation. There's just too many things to manage and they all have to go just right to save it. I'm glad she survived. I hope she learned some lessons, but I'm glad she's rebuilding her rig and getting back out there too. I don't know what her build was before, but she needs a doubler with some super low gearing. She should not have to even think about the clutch once she's rolling.

[@sqaudseven]

The guide should have put a stop it. Why would you let people risk rolling 3 times down a cliff after you had already seen them having trouble earlier?

[@MaverickHistorian]

He sounds like a bad guide

[@fatrat137]

@@MaverickHistorian you are so vey wrong. The individual Susan made her own choice to follow Matt. He announced for the less experienced people and non built vehicles to go to the right. Being a free country you can not make a person do something that they do not want to do, but people do stupid things and they unfortunately win stupid awards. If you are given an option to do this or that and you chose the wrong one then you only have yourself to blame.

@@toddhoffmaster6057 correct, we are guides, not the gestapo

[@ACEGAMER120]

Wish I could say I'm impressed but trying to offroad with a manual with only one arm is just an inherent safety hazard. Driving a manual on the road with one arm is bad enough.

[@LeonBates68]

Love Matts of road recovery

[@ikondrift]

Loses an arm, decides to impress people by driving stick and having her hands off the wheel every time she needs to shift gears. Is told "this next one is difficult, not for beginners", drives straight into that. Now that she lost the use of her thumb too, she's going to be rebuilding a car, using powertools... I feel like I know exactly how she lost an arm in the first place, and exactly how her life will go on in the future.

[@mishaisspeed4081]

Exactly what I was thinking the entire time lol

If only she focused on being feminine, she wouldn't have any of these problems. I blame her husband really. Was he wearing a dress while holding that camera? Probably

She needs a long wheelbase and a roll cage. Probably some driving lessons too…

[@garthlundquist3623]

The TJ model is just too short and unstable to compete in steep climbs like that. I know, I have wheeled mine for 20 years. Even a 4” lift on 35’s is sketchy. The XJ’s have a longer wheelbase and lower center of gravity. If you want the traditional Jeep look, start with the longer wheelbase LJ. I wish I had bought an LJ instead, but I didn’t know better at the time.

Sometimes you've got to realize your limitations and just accept them.

[@pistonburner6448]

6:40 When you say it had a fibreglass top, and that it shattered...did it also have a steel structure in addition to that? That's kind of essential information, as the difference between rolling a Jeep with absolutely no structure above you and one with a roll bar is very different.

[@tmilker]

The note of the fiberglass roof was to add context to where the fiberglass shard that went through her arm came from not about the roll.

[@bleepinjeep]

All jeep wranglers come factory with a roll bar and a soft top or fiberglass hard top over that. Luckily she also had an aftermarket offroad roll cage.

[@dwaynepenner2788]

This didn’t happen at a MORR event, there are other annual events at Sand Hollow. And it didn’t happen this year, several surgeries to rebuilding the jeep in less than 6 weeks doesn’t fit the time line. Not to mention MORR Didn’t provide guided trail rides at either of the events they have hosted, Mad Moose tours did. And the fellow who passed last year had a cardiac event while working security, hardly an event related injury. But feel free to slander away.

Matt at Matt's Offroad Recovery does some seriously sketchy stuff, things that are incredibly dangerous and downright stupid at time. Sending out someone from the other side of the country to "guide" a trail he's never driven has to be near the top of the list. Trail guides are supposed to know the trail and spend time pre-running it to know all the bypasses and the navigation.
