Havening not had anything more spectacular to low spped rollovers myself, I'd have to tell of my neighbors grandfather, at 92 years old colliding with a pickup going the other way, hell of a way to go...that... Probably was grinning the whole time.

My worst would have to be on my Warrior that I had. I was out riding trails with a few people(didn't even know them, just met up with them on the trails), well we got to this spot with a bunch of hill climbs so I start having at it. I went to climb this one and made it all the way to the top and ran over a tree stump and got stuck, turned the bike around, went down and proceeded to try a second attempt. I got all the way to the top again, this time my tires quit spinning when they caught some roots and brought the front end straight up. I fell off the back of the bike and it sat on the rear rack for just enough time for me to get out of the way, I rolled down the hill with the bike rolling down the hill about 6 feet to my right, end over end. I suffered some bruised ribs and a crushed ego! The bike suffered a lot more, thank God for insurance! I've had several stupid funny accidents, but that's another story.

It was the night I got my Big Red. I did some riding with a friend and as we were leaving to go home I was in the lead. I accidently mistook a particular hill for one that we had to go up to get out of the trails and I was in one gear too high. I got about 3/4 of the way up the hill when I ran out of power. I tried to grab a lower gear but missed it, so I then grabbed the brakes. Unfortunately they didn't grab until the 3-wheeler had started rolling backwards down the hill and it flipped backwards and rolled over me. At the bottom of the hill it was lying upside down, still running so I hollered for my buddy to shut it off so it wouldn't burn up the engine. I could hardly move because of the excruciating pain and after my friend flipped my ATC back upright I rode it out of the woods--with a broken back and a rib pulled loose from my sternum, as I found out later that night.

i was riding along a trail on my first quad (trusty ol majove), and there was a jump up the trail i always hit wide open, well, i come to the turn right b4 it and hammer down on it,, i come aroun the last set of trees, and right as i get to the jump i see somethin shiny goin across the trail... someone had put up a strand of barbwire. i was doin about 50-55 easy, and caught the barbwire, it tore the front plastic off the quad, ripped up my arms really bad (17 stitches), i could see my bone in my right forearm and the inside of my muscle on my left arm. it ripped the vents out of the mouthguard on my helmet, and ripped the padding out of the front of it. it also pulled me off the mojave and i landed right on a rock. i was goin fast enough that the quad still made the jump,,, i never found out who put the barbwire up tho....
