The branch actually poked a hole in the firewall? Hmm, that's one strong branch.


I think it was more like a tree, but yea went right through the fire wall. Probably couldn't do it again if one tried. It was just the right angle to miss darn near everything in the front susp. and go right through the firewall. The driver had to go to the hospital.


no kidding, you could try for a lifetime and not manage to do it the same way again.

this is crazy....
just shows you how careful and lucky you have to be when offroading...
This was just pure bad luck and just the right angle
there have been times that I have kinda moved a branch out of the way by just driving just to the side of it to move it out of the way and not getting out of the jeep.
Here in the midwest, specially at Badlands, there are many branches that are just sticking out of the ground and this can happen at anytime.
Hopefully this guy recovers fully.

Talk about freak accidents!

When I first saw the picture I thought someone was impaled. Glad the driver is on the road to recovery!

Reminds me of seeing a flat tire with a plastic fork stuck in it. I guess when conditions are just right...

Ya no kidding, I have something of a morbid curiosity about what his "boys" look like after seeing that huge bruise on his side.

Maybe just a diagram, I dont think I actually want to see the picture.

Rockcrawling Baby, on a treetop.
When the Jeep goes, the Jeep shall not stop
When no boughs break,the firewall shall fall
and in will come treetop... Pray for your balls.

When ever you see a set of deep grooves on a road or a highway they come from the "OHH NOOO Bird" with 6" legs and 12" balls and everytime he comes in for a landing you can hear him scream OHH NOOO
LOL I couldn't resist

Judging by the location and "direction" of that guy's bruises, he's really lucky to get away with self-healing internal bleeding. He could very easily have been impaled.
