Geezus... I don't know what line he was trying to take there but it looks like he had a lot of air in those tires. That was some hard packed snow.

Is that the same CJ-5 thing that attempted Kaner with us a couple years back? I seem to remember it having steering issues right out of Long Meadow and (thankfully) not having to spend the day on the trail with it...

He must have a good cage in that jeep... He was a little beat up (broken wrist and head gash) after the roll but was able to walk away from the jeep right to the amabalance.

Well. . .yeah. . .and from the armchair quarterback position, doing NOTHING once it started to slide wasn't the right call. . .

You would think he would have attempted to try something to avoid that.
