Worst Moab Hot Tub crash EVER?

[@chrisbarber3658]

Keeping your arms inside the vehicle is a good idea too....................

[@bigred1032]

for sure

[@BOSSINATOR-fb6zx]

Yeah I saw that

[@southernaccent]

Getting ready to type the same thing. First thing I tell anyone getting in my SXS is to never let go of the grab bar if we turn over. Never, ever, ever, but I know, its instinct. He was so close to saving it

[@0oChugChug0o]

Thought for sure that arm was gone .

[@ev6558]

Yeah when I saw it from the first angle I figured since he was OK he must have pulled his arm back in as soon as he rolled, but then I saw it from the other angle and it looks more like he just got lucky that the points of contact were elsewhere. I agree with the people saying he probably could have made it out all the way if it weren't for the spectators but that arm out the window tells me he's the kind of guy who freezes up in those situations.

[@offroaddiaries]

This was 100% him trying to avoid hitting everyone. This is why you never stand too close at the hot tub.

[@chipper442]

Unless you are James Brown (Eddie Murphy skit on SNL). Spectators on any track or trail are a bad idea. I race dirt bikes off-road and aim for them in the crappy sections.....you know they aren’t standing in mud lol.

People always dog on the factory cages (YXZ justly deserved). That Turbo S cage just took a 10ft offset drop on its top on completely unforgiving rock and the driver walked away. I'd say it did it's job 👍🍺🍻 Very glad he walked away.

[@bigred1032]

I totally agree it did it job and will in most cases. But no doubt about it an aftermarket cage would have put him in much better shape. The thing folded and hit his head. An aftermarket one might not look great after that kind of hit, but would have looked alot better.

[@jimwilkey7294]

From the start, this driver shows very little confidence or control. No helmet with arm resting on the door is a never an option! Glad he’s ok and hope others learn what not to do. That was 100% over before it started!

[@kylegerstenslager678]

Its not that bad of one

[@khoop009]

He made it out. Little heavy throttle though. But he fell back in to avoid hitting the spectators. Good on him.

[@frogmanpipes9561]

I feel sorry for no one that doesn't wear proper safety gear. Kinda has shitty friends too. That would let him try.

[@ReachOutToWilliam]

It mystifies me why people even try these types of stunts. I proves nothing, results in ruined equipment and injuries and just costs money. And where are the harnesses, helmet, gloves, etc. Pure stupidity.

[@jakeesayian2687]

KEEP YOUR ARMS INSIDE THE BUGGY! YOU CANNOT STOP IT FROM ROLLING OVER.

[@KaelinatorPVP]

Why does the polaris have such a difficult time tackling this? Is it like a center of gravity thing? Is too much lift a bad thing? I just watched a video of a Rhino taking it without breaking a sweat--that thing looked like a golf cart

[@Bombpop007]

I did this exact obstacle about five years ago in a Rubicon. It definitely gets your attention. You have to straddle on the way out which you can't really see in the video. I know nothing about driving the type of rig in the video but I feel as if it might have just been too light. That's a shame I'm glad everyone ended up being ok.

[@kriskline7559]

Thanks for sharing man. Glad your buddy is ok.

[@nickpetersen3933]

NEVER go to Moab without a helmet. I go to mountain bike, and I cringe when I see people there riding without helmets. Mine has saved my life more than once. Even the pros wear helmets, and we aren't as good as them!

[@rwbodiford]

That’s the Devil’s Hot Tub actually, Mickey’s is down the trail a short bit, it’s smaller and narrower, but still a good challenge. Gnarly ass crash, glad he’s ok. It was slimy from the heat last week for sure, tough time to climb it.

[@bigred1032]

ya i saw that and changed it in the description. thanks!

[@joyfizer8015]

Just curious what tire pressure he was at. Didn't look like he was getting much grip at all

[@elydanner9937]

Joy Fizer dude that obstacle is steep and deep just the fact that he made it that far is really impressive.

[@rwbodiford]

It was super hot and the rubber build up was slimy all last week, there just wasn't much grip to be had at all. He was a little too heavy on the throttle, but the LF axle breaking at the top was the real killer.

[@bigred1032]

i think he was around 10 pounds but the video does that no justice. thing is basically a strait up wall

[@ramblingadventures]

I think too many people don’t understand what a helmet does. Your brain smashing against your skull as it hit something hard is what causes most brain injuries, Our brains “float” in our skulls so are prone to injury when it impacts the skull when the skull rapidly decelerates. A helmet mostly does its job with the padding and foam helping the skull decelerate more gently and over a longer distance so the brain doesn’t smash into it and cause permanent injury. ANY activity where your head can hit something hard and with velocity requires a helmet. At the least, your head can hit the rollbar in a RZR, at the worst, it can hit the ground or a rock or any number of things that can kill or injure you. Having fun shouldn’t include risking pointless death or permanent brain injury.

[@fishing6226]

Are cases like this covered under insurance? Was this a total loss on his part?

[@ramyanthony4615]

My dude is lucky to still have that arm seeing how at 7:08 it was still exposed and the impact was 7:09

[@robertlee7332]

Another one bites the dust... I am glad he was not seriously injured. I had a professional tour guide who took me through Hot Tub. I couldn't even see where the heck we were going as we climbed up. It takes a brave/skillful driver to drive through Hot Tub in my book. By the way, when we went through Hot Tub, it had rained the day before. The mixture of oil and water at the bottom of the pit made it challenging to climb up but Dave Hillman with his experience and skills made it look easy.

[@delang65]

Total driver error caused that

[@D_Trade]

Before anyone jumps on this comment, this isn't criticism. Almost looks like had people not been standing there, and he stayed in it he would have made it out. Seems like him stopping to avoid hitting anyone caused the fall back in. That said, no reason anyone could have known it could play out like that and he'd be heading back that way. Crazy video, glad he is ok

gotta get to the back then go not sit at the front of the lip... guess money really doesnt mean you can operate it...

[@danpeoples1000]

If he didn't fall back into the bowl, he was going to go flipping backwards into the bowl, he was just lucky his back tire caught the lip to end up on the rim. Once committed and gas matted, he was just a passenger & along for the ride. Spectators had nothing to do with it.

he's very lucky he did not lose part of his left arm. Never ever stick your arm out of a vehicle when rolling over. It's hard enough keeping them in anyway. That's why they have window netting for when you want to do extreme Maneuvers rather than just trail ride. And there is a difference . When I see those riding / driving beyond their abilities theirs or their machines. And especially with the hi horsepower today it reminds me of why they started to Outlaw three-wheelers.
