My wife and I took a jump and nose dived. We are both OK, Minor scraps and bruises, Praise the LORD! We thought that the back end would be heavy enough to pull it down. We were wrong. We hit passenger side front first and bounced over landing on the back rack, crushing it and snapping the center shaft. I am going to rebend and reweild the frame and I need a new center shaft. Everything can be fixed better than new with some bending and bracketts. I know that we have learned a good lession here. Guys (I know im probly preaching to the chior but) be careful out there. We and our carts are not indestructable.

Yeah the restraints did there job well, my wife has the marks on her neck to prove it. But... I'd rather her have the marks as something worst like getting thrown out. I tell you one thing, Im not trying that stunt again. _________________ Worst case senerio: Heaven... I don't see the problem.

I think the hill was about 4.5 feet tall and the angle was not quiet 45. and we were about to top out so i'd say close to 30. Thats not an exatration either. I wasn't thinking at all. we landed about 10 feet away from the jump, At least thats where the first "divot" was. _________________ Worst case senerio: Heaven... I don't see the problem.
Always scary hearing about these flips, glad your ok. _________________ Custom Buggy http://www.buggynews.com/topic13417.html

Actually it was kinda fun... NOT WORTH IT!!! (the kind I never want to have again.) But fun. My wife said that the only thing going thru her head when she saw that we were going to land nose first was "Oh NO, that doesn't look right." All I thought about was her being ok. _________________ Worst case senerio: Heaven... I don't see the problem.
Glad to see you guys are ok. Nice to know the roll bars
and seat belts are doing their job. _________________ 05 Blade SX-550 Suzuki
