Jeep rolls down Potato Salad Hill at EJS 2021

Always remember to keep your arms/legs inside if this ever happens to you and always wear your seatbelt off road. Example of driver error in line choice and this an extreme situation of where a manual offroad can potentially save you in a case like this *if* you’re prepared for it. You’ve got more control with an auto and that’s why they’re generally preferred for rock crawling. However, unless you have your hand on the shifter ready to pop it into neutral when you get too far off camber, you can end up in situations like this while doing serious crawling. With a manual, you can depress the clutch to let it freewheel and you might be able to save it. Stock roll cage thankfully held up very well. No injuries. Anyways, here it is:

also at MOAB this guy nearly falls off the side of a cliff by depressing clutch and letting it free wheel backwards...so pick your spots carefully

its one minute 38 seconds in the video

I know this will sound judge-y, but I caught one glimpse of that paint job and immediately knew that jeep was driven by a friggin moron. Dude would be better served by hard parking back in the trailhead parking lot

Yep, pretty judge-y.

Someone should have stopped that guy before this happened. Can easily see he was too top heavy and was going to go over.
