Supposedly the Heep was parked and popped out of gear, with no parking brake set. I’ve read that they recovered the dog(s) in good health but the passenger was badly injured when ejected from the vehicle before it comes into frame on that video.
I saw a side-by-side do the same thing on another trail up there. Don't be an idiot driver!
Hold my beer, watch this!
And I thought watching for falling rocks/slides was dangerous enough! Watch for falling Jeeps
yeesh!
yeesh!
Saw someone accurately describe Black Bear As beginner-level with expert consequences. I've been on it once and agree with that assessment. Nothing really difficult, but a misstep can change your life.
completely agree.
I ran that pass in July and I can't imagine effing that up. I can't believe anyone survived. Absolutely beautiful trail, but fear is a real thing there.
EEEK!!!
A great example why we should program ourselves to subconsciously use the emergency/parking brake.

The article I read said he set the parking brake. Memory is a crazy thing though. Investigators will know whether it was set or not.

In the end does it really matter if the brake was set?
It does make one think going forward how much we all depended on PARK feature.
It doesn't. Setting the parking brake is always a good idea. Situational awareness is just as important.
Just did black bear pass today, didn't notice the scar or see where it went off

The first time I ran BB (1987) I saw no one the entire run and was told I was crazy to try it in a station wagon.

The fact tour guides driving Chevy Suburbans full of tourists make the trip, and that first switchback turn, without a spotter is a testament to the low level of difficulty.
Distinct failure to chooch
