    It was the Jeep in front of me.


    Really nice guy. Don't think that JKUR had 10k miles on it yet.


    Went too far left, flopped right, momentum carried him over the edge.


    Driver and passenger were the only occupants. Their lives were saved by seat belts (their hats and glasses were ejected).


    Buckle up out there boys.

    This was right after the water crossing, before the tightest switch backs. There is a rocky staircase descent that is a bit "blind" as all you see is your hood and not the trail. His left tire walked up too high and flopped him right... Then over. Rolled 3 times.

    I was the jeep behind them as we were descending... We stopped at the stairs to give them room, so I didn't see it roll, but I came up on it after it had just settled.

    i helped the driver and passenger scramble back up and we helped them haul out their stuff

    I know the spot, thanks for clarifying where it was and for helping them out afterwards. Too bad his passenger wasn't helping him by looking out the passenger side.

    Just some glass cuts and a sore head... But everyone knew who they were and where they were from. The passenger said the windshield frame pressed in and hit his head during the roll.

    they were one big rock away from rolling all the way to telluride

    Nothing to see on the passenger side... we weren't gonna day anything on the trail, but no one can figure out how he got that far left. The flop started by the drivers side wheel walking up the rocky side of the trail, tipping to the right. Almost like they were focusing too much on the downhill side.

    Good to see that there were no serious injuries. I think that would qualify for a pucker factor of 10.

    Dont that once on left hand. Yeah I said left had ! Lucky there were trees to save me if I whould have gone over. Scary stuff when you have to toss your dog out the door and crawl out the passanger side.

    Nothing compared to this !

    Yeah, I get it but my wife will let me know how much road is on the passenger side if it's tight like that and I'm too close to the wall. Either way, they weren't seriously hurt so that's good.
