Tragic. And just before XMAS.

Could happen to anyone of us. All you can do is be prepared as best you can.

Bah! He was just trying to save himself and turnabout is fairplay j/k


That has nothing to do with the fact that he put himself in that position to begin with.

WTF?????

Depressed????

What about the soldier in the field that IS doing the right things and didn't put himself in the position to be in harms way except to serve for his country? What about the person that was just stabbed by some idiot because he looked at his wheels the wrong way?

Geezus!!! The guy put himself and his family in that position and paid the ultimate price, he made boneheaded decisions and all you are going on is this "hero" persona that the media has painted.

Sure... maybe we should start a list detailing what to do to avoid future problems if someone gets bit by a snake or other creature.

You know if you guys with your expert analysis on what one should have done not to die would just speak up before, no one would die except maybe due to old age. Don't you people feel the responsibility to speak up and save some lives? I'm sure that guy would've appreciated a call from one of you telling him not to go down that road.

First thing you don't do is continue drinking and ignore the bite.... mkay

Secondly, to not die, don't do stupid stuff. Sh!t will happen enough by itself, no need to help it along.

Anyone who "brings" their kids to Moab? Please, wear a sign on your back that says "kick me" so I know who you are.

It was pretty stupid to take your kids down a snowy road that does not get maintained during snow storms. It's just like when a hurricane comes, HELLO you have days notice. But some people are stupid and try to ride it out with their kids or someone that is sick or elderly. Then they bitch because they don't get help quick enough. You know we are all arm chair quarterbacks about every subject, including you DEI and everyone else that is having a pity party about this. What about all of the other people that have died today that did not make national news? I'm sure there are some amazing stories about these people and their family. And someone mourning a loved one, what about them?

[h2co-pilot]

I don't see what the big deal is about having sympathy for a tragic situation or why some people are so hard up about making a dead man look stupid.

It is bad, but I just get mad when they, the media, make a big deal about it and there are other stories out there that are just as tragic. Or someone that was also a great dad and died trying to do something good for his family. I mean look at CO when he is in Moab he always has candy and gatorade with him, you know just in case. And I always pack acrylic just in case I need to do a trail fix on my nails. Lets just think guys. Just use your head.

Start some threads about people dying in car accidents because they weren't smart enough to take a different road that day. Or maybe someone who was such an idiot that they had a medical problem that wasn't found until too late and died. We will discuss those then if you want.

Just remember, there is a chance I will out live all you! You guys are going to feel pretty silly after I post what you should've done not to die.

The dead man made himself look stupid.

Sympathy has nothing to do with seeing something for what it really is as compared to simply taking what the media feeds.

Why isn't the wife the hero.... hell, she's the one that saved the kid's lives and wasn't driving.

[DennisAJC]

The guy made the wrong turn. I'm sure we've all made that mistake before.


Given the situation they were in, he did what he thought was best, to save his family.

Too bad he didn't carry a crystal ball like some here.

We heart the BOOBS!!!!!!! She was breast feeding the baby so she kept the older child alive by breast feeding her also.

[h2co-pilot]

I dunno, a family lost in the woods and the father trekking out after a week spent in the car- the family being saved from a cell phone ping and then finding the poor man 5 days later dead from trying to save them or whatever is a pretty amazing story no matter how you tell it.

Post up some of those other stories that happened recently and I'm sure the response would be the same.

It's crystal balls, get it right. You promised that you would not tell anyone about the crystal ball. Now we are screwed.

did you lose your concentration? What happened to the rest of the story.

He made a wrong turn, then decided to turn down a side road and drove down it for 15 miles and pulled over to sleep for the night. While they were asleep they got snowed in.

Don't make it out like he just made a wrong turn.

She is a hero- and a grieving widow.

Hopefully, if I die from something like this, You would learn something and not repeat the same mistakes.(plural) And I really hope you never let anyone from San Francisco drive you around in the snow in unfamiliar territory.

This guy didn't choose to endanger his family. Were as some of the moab people will be choosing to endanger theirs. Which one is more idiotic?

Let's see now.........H2Rocks takes his family to Moab, CHOOSES to put his family in harms way, rolls the hummer injuring or possibly killing one of his kids or himself.

THAT WOULD BE IDIOTIC.

I remember spotting H2Finally up Tip Over Challenge. He had wifey and kids riding with him. I'm just wondering if the same compassion would have been given if Tip Over lived up to it's name?


Or would they blame the spotter?
