This is the wheelstand I did that made me decide I'd better build something a little safer:


This happened on the Willow Springs trail near Apache Junction. We were at least an hour from pavement....truck listed hard to the passenger side when I misjudged a drop off by about 6". Girlfriend got scared (she says she fell ) and tried to jump out as it was going over. She landed in a puddle and her leg stuck straight out.....lucky for her the front fender on the passenger side stopped the vehicle from going all the way over or it would've crushed her leg. With that long of a drive, damage to a major artery like the femoral could have been fatal.

Time for a better cage.
