Default RIP Offroader

RIP to a bro who died while offroading near Mt. Rainier National Park, went off a cliff and rolled 25 times, on the very same road I often drive on to the orv park (ev.creek) . Bless the passenger who survived and hiked overnight to the town of Carbonado WA where he finally reached cell service to call for help.

R.I.P. indeed. May his family be able to deal with their loss without too much grief.

RIP

We all need to remember to be careful when out on the trails. Anyone who thinks it can't happen to them; You're just setting yourself up for failure. My condolences to his friends and family.

Stock rig at night by yourself. Tough lesson to learn when you're that age. Very sad.

RIP

Sorks for sure! A deputy buddy of mine was inroute to a call in the mountains at night and rolled his Expo over a 125 foot cliff. He suffered severe head trauma, strained back and broken leg but crawled up the cliff to the road and was found in the morning alive. If he'd have waited at the bottom, might not have been found for days.

First off, RIP, always sad to see a tragedy like this. Second, remember people, if a deer jumps out in front of you, blast it. dont swerve. who care if a deer dies.

also remember when your around those cliffs, , go ahead and stop, you know the areas where people can disappear over the edge, go ahead and check once in awhile, you might save someones life. oh and keep your cell phone in your pocket, if you have an accident you might be lucky to still have it with you and not out the window or out of reach

Rip, hard to hear stuff like this. Just last week a guy at my work found a missing 80yr old who drove his truck off 600ft cliff. Gotta be careful out there.
