I have seen that happen before an it is not that the are unexperanced either. It is hte sudden weight change when the front tire gose in to the trench. My friend did a couple time on his scrambler an not in two differnt spot either. If you watch the weight gose to the front as soon as the rear lifts up an the that front end take all the weight an compress. At least he got out of the way I have to help my friend cause it was standing on the nose an him laying over the bars.

I don't think so ... no brake light. Looks like the brake light worked just a few seconds earlier, so it wasn't burned out.

In slow moo ... looks like he hit the brake after it started to go over.

Look's like a worse case senario to me, going down hill , rider not to bright going to fast let's left front wheel drift into rut rut jerk's wheel's (handlebar's) hard right ; rider freak's out jamming brake's sending front end down an rear up then lost it ! And we're talking top heavy atv to begin with, once she started just snow balled out of control ! Video's can be deceiving playing over and over you can see he's going down hill just fast enough to start the ball rolling, sure wasn't thinking ; and riding without a helmet amazing he wasn't hurt are killed ! I've seen quite a few of these type crash's in the mountain's of north ga. on all type atv's , but these big heavy ute's can go south before you know it.....ManThe Lord was watching out for this rider, for sure!!!!.............williebee
