The guy who rolled the Jeep said his father edited the video using a loop to enhance the mishap.

Ironically, the guy had this Jeep wrecked in a traffic accident (not his fault) and this was the first time wheeling off road after getting it back from the body shop. He also said a few other's went down that hill with no problems but he chose the wrong line, in too high a gear. He and his passenger were lucky to say the least.

That's gonna leave a mark! Even though they weren't badly hurt that has got to cause one heck of a headache.

I think that might be the end of that Jeep. :( :grim:

That scream is going to haunt my dreams. I'm thinking anyone wheels needs to see those 2 videos. Makes you remember that 1 little mistake can leave a bunch of people running in panic!!!
