Like two hamsters going for a ride in that plastic ball! Lol

That has to hurt

WOW!! No helmets what do you know!!???

Glad they only had minor injuries. Would love to hear the drivers take on why he nose dived. Clearly others were hitting this jump. Wonder if he let off or if the ignition cut out or what.

i heard it drove away under its own power and the reason it nose dived was because the fat chick in the passenger seat lied about her weight to the driver of that fine machine and he could not offset the unexpected extra weight while flying briskly through the air.

Passenger weight would have barrel rolled lol not end over end silly

you obviously didnt notice the top end on her.

I'll go back and check now

Lol! He needed the "no fat chicks" sticker

 

[crazywatson]

She's probably the one who saved him!

Wow! Id say that thing held up pretty damn good!

 

[Sandman365]

I think the jump was just too beat up by then. Rounds off the lip which certainly didnt help not to mention the whoops starting to form on the approach.

It is crazy how well that thing held up though.

Stock cage held up great. I can't believe it drove away. My RZR's ball joints would of snapped on the first hit and the a-arms would of tore loose on the second.

That's one heavy flag. I bet if it was place in the rear of the vehicle it would have never had happened... LOL

I am friends with the guy in the video. In his defense we were hitting the jump over and over a few weeks prior:

He unfortunately didn't have enough experience to know that he needed to do a small test jump before approaching it with speed. Previously the Maverick was flying nose up over the jump, so no in-air throttle input was needed. But in this case the kicker was too short and it bucked him. He may have been able to pull out by flooring it mid air, but it happened too quickly for a great reaction.

The Mav suffered little damage near the rear subframe area. That was about it.

Also, the main reason the passenger was injured was because her seat somehow became unlatched during the rollover and her head impacted the cage. They both obviously now ride with helmets and harnesses, but his jumping career is over.
