    I am sure the bar at the back of his cab saved his butt.

    im sure, between that and his bumper.. i guarantee that truck will have a full roll cage when he rebuilds it.

    ive now watched this about 5 times, its a very sobering view of how dangerous our sport can actually be.. and it's making me want to put at least a simple roll cage in my 4runner..

    spotter was fine. jim took a bad line on a dangerous decent. looks like he held onto the wheel tightly during the roll.

    Re: Superstition run

    ya, in some cases i jump on the blame the spotter bandwagon, but in this case, Jim didn't listen to the spotter well. If you watch the video, the spotter started pointing "passenger" several feet before Jim actually turned that way.. I'm not necessarily blaming Jim either, but it's hard to blame the spotter when the line he intended was in fact not the line the driver followed. On that note, I couldn't tell you if Jim had actually turned passenger when the spotter told him if he would have made it down ok, but this crash was not the spotter's fault.
