A very very lucky off-road competitor

A very lucky chap to survive this dunking, and a lesson learnt, it can be a dangerous sport.

Thank goodness for mobile cranes and marshals ;-)

Imagine what a nightmare that would have been if it was on a laning trip!

That was one very lucky guy.

he was one lucky guy :drink:

shows how a good set of marshalls an safety guys work together :drink:

I hope for that marshalls sake the door was either plastic or fibreglass - it came down on his fingers quite viciously.

Very lucky guy to get out of that, well done to the marshalls and safety bods but even though he walked away after they got the truck upright he should have still gone to hospital for a check up and observations due to the risk of secondary drowning, he must have swallowed/breathed in some water/mud as can be seen from the coughing fits after.

very lucky fella ! wouldn't have liked to be in his seat.......

What a lucky fella

Very lucky, should always carry one of these for emergencies http://store.speedo.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st ... 2079784032

Bloody lucky guy, must have cat in him. Seems to have nine lives!!!!!

Or he was born with a set of gills.

Just goes to show another reason why not to go green laneing on your own!! He was a lucky chap!

Even though that was a comp, I know a few lanes where something like that has the potential to happen :shock:

Some of the main roads around here also have the potential for that to happen!

I like the way his "mate" pussied around getting out, not wanting to get wet or muddy, then Bu**ered off leaving him underwater. Very lucky guy, watch it again and see if you can hold your breath that long. Used all his lucky beans that day and I bet he gave his "mate" a good slapping afterwards!

well id be dead. can hold my breath for 50 secs and i wasnt panicking like he would have been

Got main and secondary roads around where I am - always treat the corners with respect. Absolute worry how to get the kids out if things were to go wrong - frightening. The lochs can be very very deep right to the edge of the carriageway.
Roads can be that quiet that if the car was to go in no-one would know.
A few years ago a car went in and the only person who saw it happen was a guy fishing across the loch, the other element that was on the side of the victims was the fisherman had a mobile phone that had a signal. All got out safe.
