Brakes are important.

Sucks when you don't have 'em going backwards down a steep hill.

That situation was either gonna be horrible, or hilarious. Luckily it was hilarious.

Yeah it was lances jeep,
He broke the output on his 205, no rear driveline. rolled halfway back down the hill and slapped it into park, when he got in to leave he jumped in, pushed the brakes and slid it to neutral to find out the rear driveline broke the brake line and off he went. This is what RickyB. told me.

woolys? ima good guesser......

Yup. and for the record Wooly's not open to the public yet. We were only allowed to be in one area of the park.

Going backwards anytime is scary, but it happens sometimes:

Recognize anyone in there Ricky? It's odd seeing you without a Nikon in your hands....

Well I must say that was one hell of a ride! The jeep was not cranked which meant limited (no) steering, didn't have a sign of breaks and i didn't have my seat belt on :'(. I was going to try to jump out but by the time i passed the trees it was going way to fast to bail. So i rode it out and i had to have been going 35-40 when i hit the pond . I am very thankful that i made it and hope not to experince it again. But it was after all said and done.

 

[InDaShop]

i didn't have my seat belt on :'(.

not to be the fun police here, but I would have whooped your ass for even moving your rig without your belt on.

Glad you're ok. Looked to have been a helluva ride. Next time belt up. Guys have been known to end up at the hospital just loading their rigs and something went wrong and they weren't belted.

 

[lance4351]

Yep your absolutly right if you sit in the seat you need to put your seatbelt ON!!!!!!! Well You see what happen was = I got in I sat down and pressed brake and just put in neutrel to roll back 10 feet, without even cranking it, to get out of the way and then the brakes failed and park didnt work either and it was on

 

[InDaShop]

OMG, see anything can happen when you hit that gearshifter. Still glad you be OK.
