H2 Roll over

[Lizard]

I was just curios if anybody else has rolled their H2 on to its side. I was doing a little off roading and rolled my H2 on to its side on flat ground. I was going about 25 to 30 MPH and starting to fish tail when my baby went to her side.

maybe that was not a roll?

[MAC]

But Peter's H2 was certainly a rolled over.

Just goes to show that it is 90% driver... I hope nobody got hurt. Maybe keep the speed down offroad next time. That's probably what did it. I hope it works out for you.

In one of the pictures..the H2 looks to have suicide doors..
Is the picture just reversed?

Does anyone have the pic of the Yellow one that rolled and in the pic is a severed finger!

Not to be tasteless but I thought it was kinda sick to take a pick with a cut off finger.
Oh by the way you know it is not the guys taken the pic because the finger is the camera trigger finger.

Hummer Man, you can buy those fingers in 5 & 10 cents stores. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Umm, Lizard, Steve and I ran some of the most difficult terrain I have ever driven on today. Some of it even surprised Steve that we were able to do it. It was some pretty sick stuff. Huge inclines, steep drops, very loose decomposed granite with massive rocks up the same inclines. Not once did I feel that my H2 was going to roll, in fact Steve mentioned that one section we traversed most H1 guys in the group probably would use the bypass (It was nasty) So my point in saying this is that either your description in how this happened is lacking much needed information OR you are completely full of it. I will tell you an H2 will not roll on a flat surface going 30mph. We did close to 100 mph in El Mirage with an occasional blip that rocked the house. We ran light trails last week at 20mph that were not flat. So please enlighten us.

Ok let me try again. drive in a straight (maybe my mph is a little off)line going about 30 - 40 mph. then turn the wheel hard right. Now remember here in florida we do not have soft mud. It is mucky sand. ( a combination of sand, water, and this sticky black goop) So there is very little slip in the terrain. If your every in florida look me up and I'll take you to the spot I had my misshap and you can try to duplicate what happend.

That could have very well have happened. Especially if the tires were aired down and in soft soil. All it takes is to loose a bead at that speed and blamoo your going for a ride. H2 are alittle top heavy also so that adds to the factor...

[argonaut]

Your truck didn't look too badly damaged. Hopefully it gets fixed and back to you soon. Try not to crank the wheel hard at speed next time. Maybe slow down before you turn...

I saw a Grand Chorokee one time doing doughnuts
on a flat plain. His rear tire whipped into a small pothole in the dirt. Over he went without much effort.

Sometimes you hit things you don't see and that's when good times go bad. Sorry to hear about your roll over. Doesn't look like much damage though. Back on the trail in mabye 3-4 weeks? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

He ain't heavy.....
He's ma HUMMER baby!

25-30mph's? Off-road? Where you trying to outrun something. There is no need to be driving that fast, ever, off-road.

[Steve R]

Given the proper conditions, ANY vehicle is prone to rolling...and especially one that has a higher center of gravity.

Btw, my comment about some H1's using the bypass on the tougher sections of trail was based on some of our gruop not quite having the BTM technique down OR certain vehicles being plagued by the infamously dysfunctional TT4 "wishful thinking traction control system".

Jason & I encountered a mad-cap hooligan driving down the center of the road and coming right at Jason. I watched as Jason threw his H2 into a sideways turn and (on dirt) didn't even come close to losing it.

Driver experience, terrain, speed, mitigating circumstances: it happens.
