In the comments, the driver said it was a KO and minor bumps and scrapes. Description says he was with Jantz that day.

I got knocked out after 3 rolls. I woke up with a head gash, and a cracked wrist. I walked away from the landing, with some whiplash and disoriented.

Spent the rest of the day in an ambulance, and the ER.


Best Jeep roll over coverage I've seen on Youtube!
(2) end over end, (6) sideway rolls. Trail Beast crosses an icy drift, and rolls over a cliff 8 times 200'. Forest Service rd. #7030 SE of Greenwater, Washington Hwy 410. Driver and Jeep were extracted with minor injuries. July 16, 2011 Three Jeepers go looking for summer snow 4 wheeling at 5400'. This shows how dangerous the north side of a snow drift can be. Stay tuned for the aftermath video, and return to the trails.
Special Thanks to Rich Rudman and Carl Jantz for the footage and retrieval.

Just talked to Carl. He said there was a trip to the hospital. Nothing major however. They cleaned up all the contents of the rig then between winching and the rig running they got it back to the top!

That was a nasty one for sure. Could have turned out a whole lot different. At least he was in good hands.

Here's the aftermath video. Looks like that jeep gets to wheel another day.
