Or, you could be really unfortunate and not roll it on the trail....and instead follow in my unlucky footsteps and get hit in a parking lot by a Celica doing 40+ mph in the rear tire, spin sideways and have the impact (and subsequent Swamper side lugs digging into the pavement) roll you onto your roof.

That was embarrassing.

You gotta be kidding me- you got rolled in a parking lot by someone going that fast? I would have immediately starting kicking a$$ as soon as possible! There is no excuse for anyone going that fast in a parking lot! Hope you didn't get hurt.. That's terrible! Did the Celica driver get any payback?
Nope....I got SCREWED royally by his insurance company. Very long story, but parking lots are private property so no tickets are issued. Coupled with tax attorneys should NEVER be allowed to be arbitrators in accident cases, suppressed evidence, having no attorney b/c none will take the case if you're honest enough to say you weren't injured....well, let's just say I had to "turn the other cheek" on this one to keep from killing some fawkers.
But I'm not bitter. I just can't stand insurance companies now.

Wow, I've had that same ride in a 99 4Runner after getting speared between the rear passenger door and rear tire by a 78 year old old lady in a Buick Skylark that claimed she didn't see me.
Yeah right, an 18 ft long 6 foot tall black truck in the middle of the day is nearly invisible to the naked eye.
