Not sure if anyone showed this video on here that was uploaded on YouTube a couple of weeks ago?
Hectic rollover on one of the deep creek tracks I think?

That was a scary roll over, lucky they were ok.
He should have winched instead of trying to reverse on that angle.

Ouch that was nasty. Least both the guys were alright afterward and also lucky the passenger got his arm back in the window beforehand

Enjoying the trips
How's the dude more concerned about his camera than the blokes in the accident. Wouldn't call him a mate! How do you know they're OK?
Cheers

I honestly don't think he tried to reverse, he obviously stalled it as we know, and being a manual, attempting to re start the engine, had a slight relax on the brake pedal, a few inches roll back, simply threw the car off balance into a potential roll, the "only" chance he had to save it is to do what he did, and reverse (well roll backwards), unfortunately he didn't win this one, the only thing he did wrong was not stay hard on the brake until it started, but in that situation, he would not have known just how critical NOT rolling back even a few inches would become.
Easy could have killed someone, but they obviously had seatbelts on, and were not being stupid, just one of those things, at least its on video , a small consolation to the cost and work ahead to get back out on the tracks again, now he has a excuse to buy a auto GU and kiss such stalling problems behind

My last two 4WD's have been auto's and I have now got a manual as the auto's scared me too much on steep downhill tracks, never liked riding the brakes.
