A short walkabout could have/would have prevented this from happening.

This has been a safety minute brought to you by YotaTech, we now return you to your scheduled reading and posting.

I'm more country than they are so you'd really like to hear me talk lol; there are some places here in Arkansas that are several hundred vertical feet down if you weren't aware of what's there the "Hold my beer n' watch this" mistake could be your last!

WOW. that's crazy! the video is funny though, good thing no one was hurt. Sucks for that guy. Isn't it amazing though, when your buddy says,"Yeah you'll make it or try that one!!!" Should've walked it first.

Yeah, I have seen others come close to that. I watched a guy back down a very steep, rutted, and long hill with very loose rock after getting to the top and realizing he had no place to go. Of course, I have always wondered who the heck made the trail to the top to begin with.....
