Default Worst rollover ever. On wolverine, and I rode

Yesterday I was able to ride at Jelico Mtn. in Tennessee,
about halfway through the ride , we were ride up the crest of a washout trail
when a rock caused the rear end of the wolvy to kick out and off the edge of the trail,
While I bailed out , and was not hurt, the wolverine continued to roll down the 30% +
bank.
I counted in the neiborhood of 38 rolls before it finally came to a stop tires down ,
AND STILL RUNNING.
20 minutes later when I finally got down to it , I expected bent or broken axle/wheels,
trashed plastic, controls broken off, etc.
But all I found was wrong with it was bent racks and handlebars.
After straightening the bars enough to ride and re-aligning the bar controls.
And finding all the stuff I had in a black plastic storage box that was trashed in the
8th or 9th roll we finished our ride.
started at 7:30am done at 3:00pm.
the roll was at about 10:15am.

I truelly believe I chose the right ATV for my style of riding.

peace
Magyver

Yeah it is amazing how tough they are. Mine has had a rollover or two in its career with the extent of the damage being bent handlebars and racks at the very most.
