On some show on Fox Sports recently (I've seen it twice in a week), this blazer was trying to climb a "60 degree" hill. I think they said it was at Truckhaven, but the volume of the t.v. was low and the one on the girlfriend was high at the time. This guy was cruising up the hill, got hung up, and then you hear "pop" and the guy running the camera says "Uh oh, that didn't sound sound good." No sh*t. The gearbox popped on this bastard, and he started rolling backwards down the hill. He tried turning to slow down, I guess, and flipped like 5 times. The jackass had no seatbealt on and ended up flying out of the sunroof in midflip. He was lucky he didn't get squashed. He ended up with just a dislocated shoulder.

Just wondering if anybody saw it.

Did you notice how well that roof held up? Ha Talk about junk.

They should build more vehicles out of fiberglass, it would reduce some of the population.

The whole damn truck was trashed. The funny part was the before the accident footage of the guy whizzing around all over the place, throwing mud everywhere. He was a real technician.
