lucky escape
« on: July 10, 2005, 18:18:48 »
Was at an RTV today in Ridsdale in norhumberland and witnessed my first rollover.
the 90 was desending steep bank in to a dogleg gate to the left and turned to early.
Saw the rear right wheel lift and it just went over in slow motion rolling twice.
Fortunatly both passenger and driver walked away with passenger sustaining minor cut to the head (was taken to hospital to be checked over as precaution)
The picture does really tell the whole story as the roof had folded from small black areal to back right hand corner forwards to drivers door.

Been in a 90 that rolled on the "non damaging" course at West Wycombe show!  Thankfully minimal damage.

These 90's are'nt too strong so thats why I put a roll cage on mine.

Have not flipped it yet but theres time....

Glad everyone was okay!

And I thought the R.T.V.s down here were tough.
Hope everyone recovers.

there where a few coments that was more like a CCV course than RTV but course was set out and driven in a disco that only had modifed suspension and mud tyres on

Was my first RTV driving the 90 and had the wrong tyres on. I was running on cloway AT's but should of had my muds on really unfortunatly have a good sized nail in one of my tyres.
was taking them off the pile last weekend to put them on took down my road tyres from the stack and started to take down the mud tyres and one was "a little soft" checked treads etc and noticed nail.
Better was at home than getting a blow out on the road and hadn't started fitting them so was anoyed but not as much as I could of been if it was the last wheel to fit
