something like that happened to a friend of mine about 11 years ago, only it was a car and there was no one around to help him, he'd have been fine if he would have worn his seat belt...

[woody11769]

sorry about your friend

should always worry about a roll over if  u dont have a cage or a roll bar

[Captn. J]

well i know how scary it can get    yesterday me and my friends were at the mounds and i happen to ctach the action of a blazer rolling on it s side  one sec i was running to help them out   nobody was hurt but they seem to be spooked out.

been in some crazy accidents including 2 trucks on their side.  I always wear a seatbelt, on the road or the trail.  I worry about rolling if I have my kids so i take it easy, but if i'm alone i dont worry too much.

I put a cage in my truck for my son cause he aways worrys about roll overs when we get a little wild... but I have run my truck for 8 years I know it well if its going over we did something very very stupid...

i try not to get in positions where a roll over can happen. scares me too.  that video uptop i read or heard that that guy was trying to jump out or exit throught the window to try to save himself.

[poorboyzmuddin]

i think about it every time i get into my truck

When I rolled mine, I felt really safe....but I also knew we built a stong cage....without it would have been a different story

[michigan maniac]

Dang that was crazy, glad to see everyone spring into action so quick,  yeah rolling into deep mud or water would seem scary even with a cage, but at least your cab wouldn't crush and you would have a way out

ROLLED MINE 3 TIMES  ONCE WITH THE WIFE ON THE ROOF  2 TIMES ON THE SIDE  KEGO HARBOR ALL 3 TIMES AT THE MOUNDS  NOW I HAVE A CAGE  THATS IN MY S10

Both my bogger and my trail rig have different attitudes, and take two different driving styles, not really affraid of a rollover in the jeep, so its never really on my mind but, the bronco has a pretty bad body roll and always feels like its going over, so the fear of a roll over is always there, and as of right now there is no roll cage, so if its a violent rollover the results probably wouldn't be in my favor so a roll cage is in the works over the winter

Dont' worry bout it when it's just me in the rig..
ALWAYS worry with kids..

anytime I have a new person in my truck I go thru a pre-trip "what if" and show them exactly how to unbuckle (4 points)
and the exits available.. and if I say "OUT" it means NOW!
I also practice unbuckling passsengers from time to time and apoligize to the ladies before hand for my hands in "that area"
my personal mindset is passengers first, then me.
and yea.. got roll bars.

[HellYeah4x4]

x2 hammerlane thats my only worry is if summin crazy happened with my kids in the truck can i get them unbuckled quickly. I been practicing with the 4 point harnesses as well

since watchin a few rollovers, we put a cage in our truck too, things can happen fast , so its best to try to prepare yourself ahead of time.

Iv'e been in quite a few roll overs... Not a big fan but I never had or have a fear of rolling over in water.. just keeping your mind about you is the biggest thing to get out quick......   My fear is to roll it over in deep mud.....  you can move around in water... the same does not apply to mud... where it can be really thick and sticky, ..that just freaks me out    here come some night mares    ohh and I always wear a belt when ever there is a remote chance for a rollover or if Im doing something stupid
