I saw a similar version of this in real life. Goosed the throttle going up the ramp and was unable to stop before a really good hit to the back of the pickups bed. Even broke out the back window of the cab. Damage to sled and truck was north of 15K. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

When in doubt, throttle out. Well.....it works most of the time. | |||

My buddy used to race jet skies professionally and I saw a few of his races. Once I was in the pits and heard his coach murmur "throttle on, brain off" as my buddy crashed putting himself out of contention. "Throttle on, brain off" seems appropriate description of parking the snowmobile in this video.

Absolutely the case with my WR250. I mistake myself for a much younger man that doesn't get sore for a week when I ride that thing. | |||

I’m glad my ATV has a winch. I use the winch to haul it up the ramps into the bed of the truck. I won’t mention how many times I loaded it without the winch before it dawned on me to use the winch, but I never rode it up the ramps. That just seemed too stupid even for me. | |||

Been there done that.. I used to pull a very high performance garden tractor. I loaded it with ramps many times. One day I'm loading and it starts spinning near the too. Then grabs and I wheely into the truck and just about hit the cab. My wife gave me a new winch for loading Fter that . _______________________________ 'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but > because he loves what is behind him.'

I'm leaning towards real video, but a voice-over done at a later date. Might not even be the voice guys video. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

It sounded like it was narrated by Ray Stevens. It looked like it hurt! === I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. | |||
