Looks like the complete underside is 100% armored

Man, I know you should always steer into a skid to straighten out, but that takes the cake!!

It's amazing how close he came to that pit. Great reactions, excellent suspension!

some luck and a boat load of driver skill is the only thing that stopped that from being a barrel roll.

To correct the second roll he has to steer right into the pit and still keep it together enough to not drive into it! :shock:

That man can drive my Jeep if he wants...but only on the road...at a safe speed...o.k. no he can't.

He quickly reacted to the vehicle and that is what prevented the roll over and over and over…

Yeah, amazing use of the full-lock.... reminds me of driving on two-wheels in "dukes of hazzard" but far more impressive.

Watch him as he rolls into the first roll. He steers INTO the roll and then has the presence of mind to do it again going into the second roll, then back again into the third start of the roll and keeps it upright.

I wasworking for a newspare in Ohio a LONG time ago and had my NEW 95 XJ, full stock. Pulled up to an asignment and parked on the shoulder. about 2 seconds after i parked i felt the shoulder colapse under my passenger side. I FREAKED. stopped and thought for a second reached down and grabbed the 4x4 lever, turned to thr right down a VERY steep grassy wet hill and started to give it gas as i drove i threw it in 4x4 and prayed.

I was within a few degrees of going over. scare me to death.
Not fun when you find out the hard way the tera firma is not so firma.

Man, that was a wicked save! I love how the guy never takes his foot out of the gas the whole time. Rally racers are CRAZY!!!

I noticed the first time the suv was sowing it's under side. I kinda liked the way it looked full armor.

I find it interesting that no one has mentioned the man running for his life – he defiantly was in the area that the SUV crossed. He was the one needing to change his pants!

The ESP would have taken over and he would have flown away to safety! :roll:

Yes, the true idiot who was on the wrong side of the roped off area.
