I don't know how many times I have had to tell people to keep your distance when off roading!

Especially when you have young novices sharing the trails with you.

I've seen kids do some really stupid things there because they lack the forethought and a sense of physics.

This incident was in the Hollister Hills OHV park near Watsonville in California. I saw a few bad incidents when 4wheelin there.

Which is all fine and dandy until you realize you didn't think you may be in a bad situation by not putting as much distance between you and them as you can.

This guys problem was a carb stall. Then trying to turn on a hill slope! Always make sure your floats are set right so you don't stall and your brakes are 100% so you can back down without turning.

They were lucky not to be seriously hurt or killed by loose items falling out of the rolling Chevy truck!

Jeeps, Suzuki Samurai's, Toyota's and FJ40s are the most roll prone vehicles I ever saw on the trail. They are so narrow their tendency to flip is far greater than the bigger trucks!
But never underestimate the ability of a novice driver even in a big truck.

Just think everyone out there is a potential stupid accident. Don't be a victim by placing yourself too close to any trouble out there!

Stay safe my friends.
Anything is possible.
Especially an accident.
