Default Death at Hover's, "buttcrack", James C. Henns!

A jeep was going down buttcrack (far as my family can tell, only a pic of the top and half the hill, but it def. Looks like buttcrack), the most popular hill at hover, but 4x4s made it a piece of crap, so much ruts. Anyways they rolled8-10 times. John Elliot was driving, but did not die.

There is a hill, with two huge hills and a line in the middle, and it looks like a butt. Therefore Buttcrack. Its not too hard to make, gotta have good power and momentum.

Man re-read your post. Sounds like a bunch of gibberish.

What a worthless thread.

Wow what a ROLL cage. That sucks. It's terrible when stuff like this happens. You should edit your post and inclue the link. Sounds like crap.

Oh and since they were both ejected I take it they were not restrained.

According to the link they were wearing seat belts, but they broke under the force of the roll over.

Its always sad to hear about a death like this. I feel for the family and wish them well.

Hopefully some people will look into better restraints.

no surprise there if they were the original lap only belts with stock mounts and old CJ rust.

I know a few fire fighters here locally that have had to peel a few people off of the dashboard because they didn't wear seat belts.

I hope that someone sees this and realizes that a restraint check may be in order on an old rusty rig.

And this is one reason the 4x4 I am putting together now. Will have a full 6pt cage and harnesses. Also will be using decent tube.
As no matter what the experience. Or how many times a particular track is driven. Farkups still happen.
