Admit it. We all like seeing people get
stuck. Here are some of those moments.
These shots were taken from a Deadwood Safari trip
in November 2001. We caught up with the Club 4x4 group and saw them in
action.
Excerpts from the trip report give an idea of how it
feels inside a trapped vehicle ...
"Once
you're into it from the top there's no turning back, but it's OK, just a
bit steepish. Gee that water rut in the middle's deep now - got to
straddle that ..."
"It was all over in
a second and the Pajero was solidly locked in that rut, tilted over to
the left at more than 45 degrees, jammed solidly by the doors against
the rut. We had to dig a small trench for the front wheels to
follow and dig along the lefthand side before it came free with a bit of
a push. Dent (aka memories) in the front guard and both doors, but
relatively minor ..."
"... more dramatic
in a short wheelbase vehicle as the back end desperately wanted to beat
the front down the hill by going over the front and got up to a metre
off the ground before the rut trapped them ... the right front wheel
barely touching the ground and both rear wheels up in the air." |
