No reason why they were going that fast and uncontrolled on that trail. Lucky that it came to a stop and remained upright. Could have ended tragically.

Surprised it did not roll. That says something. Also looks like they stopped right before another cliff.

One of my riding buddies always says "If you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly". Somehow he is still alive.

I gotta ask: What the actual fuck?

The rear wheels were still kicking dirt as they passed over the edge, which seems to imply they were still on the throttle while pointing at the abyss.

I need context. Was this a medical episode? Full retard at the wheel? Am I being too judgmental?

I dont see anything on the trail that forced that turn. Clearly going too fast for normal trail riding. Almost looks like an intentional hard left with no attempt to prevent the breakover. Maybe a stuck throttle?

Wow.

If I was in that vehicle I would 1000% be buying a lottery ticket before my luck runs out after that.

Bunch of sand they were trying to power through, and you never have perfectly responsive steering in stand.

They were sliding a bit towards the face of the hill, so they tried to correct by turning left. But once the front-end got through the bulk of the sand, it got traction again in a hurry and essentially over-corrected them. And at that point momentum took them over.

Thank goodness they deployed their parachute!

Did the left tie rod snap causing the pull to the left? The video was too small for me to see any damage to the tire position.
