My Buddy rolled an H1 on the street! He was driving his friends H1 at about 35 mph he hit a mound of snow in the middle of the street. The H1 went air born and landed on the front tires, the jolt of the initial impact with the snow made him turn the wheel to the left so when he landed on the front tires the H1 flipped and rolled over crushing the roof and landing back on all 4 wheels!! He happened to be driving along side a Cop who saw everything happen. The Cop showed up at the Hospital and said he has never seen anything like that before and wasn't going to ticket him since he did nothing wrong. He ended up with 9 staples in his head at the Hospital!

That's alot of inertia to flip an H1 like that. Glad they are all safe. Post the pics soon. Good cop.

Good thing there weren't any cameras around or that would be on the national news.
Glad he's relatively ok.

Hmmm...I don't know what to say that's politically correct. But, PC never was my strong suit..

City streets? That's really dumb. And what did the owner of the H1 think? Will the driver pay for a new roof?

That's about 16k in damage repair and labor right there if the truck is a 1996 or newer. If it's a 1995 or earlier H1, you can't get the roofs anymore from AM General, so the truck will be totaled.

On the flip side, was he wearing his seat belt? 9 staples seems a bit excessive if he was.

I know, it seems unreal! Here is why I beleive him though. First he is a real good freind for over 10 years.
The H1 owner asked my buddy to drive his H1 to the dealer to get some work done and was driving his BMW 525 in front of the H1.
A Cop was driving alond side the H1 and saw everything, and remember the streets are not clear so this is why I tend to beleive the speed was 35. How much faster could you be going in a 525 in the snow along side a Cop?
I'm sure crazier things have happened. I am waiting for the PICS.
The owner has insurance and was in the process of selling it so he is not pissed.
Knowing my freind he wasn't wearing his seatbelt but I will ask.

Don't be surprised if the accident or a portion of it was caught on a nearby store security camera. It may make the news or the internet yet.

or not

Holy crap! I want pictures!!!

I don't believe this. Why did the BMW not do the same? It is pretty hard to launch an H1 completely into the air unless a really HUGE pile of snow or dirt is in its path.

You *******!

Where the hell were you and your plow when he needed you most!

My thought EXACTLY! Some "real good freind" you turned out to be!!
