Hell Yes I have definately rolled and flipped mine, more than I care to count. If you haven't you might as well know that it isn't fun. It hurts more and costs more the older you get. When younger I never saw a hill that I wouldn't try when I was riding a dirt bike. They are much easier to get out of the way of. They are much cheaper to repair as well. There is a sign at the trails where I ride that says "If it looks too steep, it probably is". Good advice for anyone.

I flipped my 06 kodiak 450 doing a donut in this past winter when I caught some traction ($200 in plastics). just recently I flipped my 03 wolverine, stupidly I might add, I was going up a steep hill, lost traction and momentum, then i locked up my rear brakes. Damages were new handlebars(07 Raptor 700R) and new reverse switch. I still need to replace my bent steering shaft and fix my tweeked rear axle. I'll probably replace the rear axle with a durablue. oh well, forced upgrades FTW.

Totaled an '06 800, it made me sick to sit and watch it roll faster and faster parts flying off, side to side then end for end.
And I know most of you wont make this mistake, but I didn't secure my ATV ramp to the Pickup (yeh I know just hook it with a tie down),, drove out forward,,, ramp fell off the tailgate when halfway out ,,, endo began slowly (thank goodness),,, I crawled out just in time for the heavy 800 to hit the ground upside down. For most of us the most dangerous part of the ride will be loading and unloading (people have been killed),,, GOOD IDEA TO WEAR YOUR HELMET FOR BOTH.

I've only rolled mine once, luckly only a lil crack in the plastic. I ripped an 8" diameter tree stump out of the ground (which caused the roll) I was doing about 40-45 when I hit it. Glad i had a skidplate on the front. Needless to say, I learned my lesson the first, and hopefully the last time.

Two times. Once going up a steep incline out of a ditch with wife on the back. That one went over real well. Back in the water we went. The other time was going down a steep hill, I let off the gas and the engine braking kicked in, over I went. Nobody hurt in either accident. Don't plan on doing anymore. It cost to much!!!

Hit the end of a 18" dia Elm tree hidden in the grass with my left front wheel. Sent my flying and the quad ended upside down.

I was minimally injured but the quad costed me $3K to repair with a new frame.
