Looks like you did it right

 

[Teebow]

Tree savers,snatch block and geometry 101

 

[bumperm]

Oh that's bad! Looks like underwear hangin' off the roof . . . don't blame you, I'da soiled mine too.

Did you self winch or did you have another sxs with you?

 

[Teebow]

Self winched.not undies lol, that’s a beach towel that was covering the shifter. Looked it over and the only thing needs repair was the side mirror

 

[crewcabrob]

That is crazy! Rolled it over and only a side mirror needs work.

Hope you didn't get beat up any worse than your machine did.

 

[Teebow]

hard to believe but yes. Tree kicker on passenger side bent just enough to notice and my mud busters on that side are crinkled up but still in tact and I was expecting door damage but after I got home and sprayed it off I didn’t even notice much scratching.

I’m a little stiff from hanging upside down in the cab and wrestling out of the vehicle but I’m heading to work as I speak. Thanks for asking

Well, get the hell back out there and do a BETTER job next time! LOL

Now it's time for a real rollcage.

 

[P1K5Dave]

Were you moving at creeping down the hill speed, or "oh s***" speed?

 

[Adam490]

Had a similar flop at speed in my Pioneer a week or so ago. I've had mine on it's side quite a few times albeit very slow, controlled flops every other time over the last couple years at less than a couple MPH and nothing more than a few scratches and a dent or two to show from it. It cross rutted coming down a really tame trail and I jabbed the brake to try and stop the rear from coming around. It caught and slammed me over at 10-15MPH.

If you don't have insurance I'd HIGHLY advise getting it. I'm going to go with a real cage, but after pricing the replacement Honda ROPS pieces it was definitely worth filing the claim with my insurance.....

 

[SLOWPOKE693]

When in doubt, throttle out.

As soon as you jabbed the brake it was all over.

 

[P1K5Dave]

That's an old snowmobiler rule @SLOWPOKE693 and one that has always served me well.

Last month we went down a steep hill with my Pioneer. Near the bottom we had to step off one trail to another nearly parallel trail with a 3' drop-off (while pointed down heavily.)

No way I was hitting that slow. I could either face falling over or riding on 2 wheels with momentum for a bit. I sent it.

Oh I know, not sure what part of my brain took over at that moment but it wasn't the one I wanted.
