Just curious as to how many have rolled or crashed their machines? (stupidity allowed. lol) I've broken an arm and wrist when I rolled a 3 wheeler, rolled new ski-doo last year (bruised ribs from that one), Boyfriend was glad I couldn't reach the ground with the KLR 650, I'm gonna try out the new rancher tomorrow. Wish me luck.

 

I had a pretty nasty one posted in the Sport Quad forum, take a look.

 

I definately don't want to top anyone on this subject, LOL, How much time and beer do you have....
The worst one I had was climbing plateau's in the Badlands, near the Theodiore Roosevelt National Park, when it was still legal to ride off trails in the surounding National Grasslands.
All my buddies disappeared, so I climned a huge one, front wheels cleared the top, rear never, started rolling rearward, looked down and to my surprise there was a buddy of mine not 200 feet below me coming up. I freaked, dumped the clutch to dig in the rear wheels but the Vipers decided to hook. The TRX250X came over on me, twisted, handlebar hooked under my helmet in the front. So as it flipped straight down the hill, my ticket was paid and the ride began. They say on one flip I cleared my friend on his Sportsman. When it was over I had a broken hip, ankle, dislocated shoulder, and major road rash over the rest of my body.

trying to do a turn around cat walk on a 250x when the back right tire hit a stump under the some brush...threw me off sideways and landed on a big rut...my foot also hit my back right tire while in the air and it chewed some skin off my leg

 

my worst... atcually on a 1971 honda trail 90. doin about 40 down a paved road, deer decided to jump right out infront of me, i hit the deer, breaking both of its front legs and its neck. the bike turned 90degrees to the right tipping and skidding about 30-40ft down the road with me under/infornt of it. my bike recived a mangeled front fender, broken headlight and headlight housing, busted steering stop, and lots of road rash on the tops of both brake levers and handgrips, and one side of the rear rack. i luckly was wearing my protective riding gear. skate shoes, blue jeans, sweater, no helmet. my left leg was filled with rocks and pretty well road rashed, left elbow had minor road rash, left sholder had a very large hole ground into it. i dont know why, but the first thing i did when i skidded to a stop was pick up the bike and check out the damage. i was amazed how well it held up and more amazed that it fired right up.

 

i was jumping this table before i got my nerf bars or boots and ended up over shooting it so my foot slid off the peg when i landed, tore a ligament on that one. havent broke anything yet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I had a doozy that took about a year to recoup from. I took a buddy of mine to fill his Caribou tag and we planned on a two day hunt but we scored and was headed back to the truck within 8 hours and I had to climb back up out of the valley up a hill that is called "Suicide Hill" and the name fits. When it rain this trail gets very slick and many a quad and trucks have tumbled back down after losing traction at the top. Well we were riding double and I had him walk up to the second stage of this hill( you climb it by making switchbacks) and there is a big rock at the top that likes to throw the front wheels up and you need somebody to grab the frontend and throw it back down. I hit that rock and the front flew up and I can still this day see Frank missing the bumper and the rear wheels hit and the wheeler shot straight up and I tried to kick loose but the tote I had on the back was there so I tucked and the quad landed on its rear rack and handle bars with me in the middle, somewhere during the second endo I was able to get off but I caught the rear rack on my right knee and crushed it. The quad was driveable and we managed to get back to the truck with Frank driving the quad. I was lucky I did not get paralyzed or even killed, luckily with the tote on the back and a caribou and packframe on the front rack made a pocket that I could hang on in. My most memorable crash.

The first day I got my bike I went out riding with the guys and flipped her backwards down over a hill. As I was climbing the front wheels came up on me and came backwards. I Jumped off jsut as it was flipping all the way over. Good thing it was in the sand. I didnt get hurt at all but after that I was defently looking into a extended swingarm.

 

Yes many.
1. Hit a motorcycle head on and sat in the hospital for a few days while my left arm was reconstructed. By far the worst.
2. Cased a triple, bounced, hit my head and was knocked clean out. Finished the race and passed out. Hurt, but easily recovered.
3. High - sided during a power slide, took the bars in the ribs, landed with the machine on top of my leg, and hit my head on a log. Not good, it was the day of what was the first date with my wife. I still went, carrying my bottle of aspirin and limping. I HAD to go, could not cancel ! ! ! She still talks about that one. . .
4. Tried a cliff climb, about 2 feet from the top I fell off but the machine made it. Machine kept running, bars turned to the left, and the *@^#$($)@& thing came down the cliff at me once it turned around at the top. I ran for my life and just missed the wrath of 4 tires and some steel on my back. Amusing as heck and I somehow didn't get hurt.
