Nice Driving. The funniest part was the guy running for his life.

Re: Rollover Avoidance

That guy has nerves of steel!!!! I was amazed how he was still steering towards the edge until he finally regained control of the slide at the last second. I would still be cleaning my shorts!!!

Re: Rollover Avoidance

ive done something similar to that before, but i was in a yamaha rhino. it is a lot scarier in the rhino because there are no doors or roof. and you have the stupid urge to put your foot out to try to save the 1200 pound thing from rolling over. thats a bad idea.

Re: Rollover Avoidance

I was very impressed by this video. I guess when you are about to rollover you steer towards the roll and give it some gas.
