Where is the obstacle? How did he manage to roll it there?

Is anyone able to identify his front bumper?

The incident is towards the end of The Fallen, just a couple obstacles prior to the Drill Grounds (I helped break the trail a few years back). The climb at 1:35 over Casey's left shoulder is likely where they rolled off...the breakover is sharp, and the left side of that climb is relatively verticle and about 6' tall. Easy spot to get light if you aren't paying attention.

Much of Sand Hollow involves driving the front tires to position the rear tires correctly. When a driver doesn't do that, the rear will drive under and it gets tippy quick. Worse, most don't even know it's going bad until its REALLY bad.

Hopefully someone here has the back story on this one. It’s a bad day but we can all learn from it.

But it still starts up just fine and runs

No tow needed out on her own power.

That's totalled.
See ya 50k, probably won't get insurance.

I've never read the fine print and only do some mild off-roading (not getting into situations where I may roll it over) but have always wondered what the deal is with insurance in these types of situations?

Do they have a clause that says that if you take it off-road, they don't cover you?

I would think it's like any other one car accident.

Hope so, I've no idea, just figuring the insurance company is going to wonder what you were doing and try to get out of it. Perhaps you're right, it doesn't matter, hopefully.

Insurance is for accidents so it will be covered. They even cover stupid mistakes, that's what you pay for. You can go off-roading , take a car or motorcycle to the track and it's covered as long as it is not a timed race event.

Your rates will probably increase and if you do it often you can be dropped but mostly you're ok.
