but most importantly what did he do wrong in ur opinion?

1. He was fast.
2. He hit breaks when he was in the air.
3. the people assisting the cresting didnt even bother warning the guy.
4. misjudge from the driver by not knowing the car capabilities.

what you mean by car capabilities , please explain

additionally,

- he was not wearing seat belts
- he obviously did not survey the unknown terrain before cresting
- he had no communication/contact to his buddy on the crest

Good thing: It was an Ambulance with all 1st aid kit onboard

:hat:

if you know ur car, then u'll know when to speed and when to slow

He he he - no Red Bull when airborne

Many things went wrong

This man didn't know, when to get his foot from the gas pedal.
The man sitting on the dune-top had no clue what so ever.
It's very often like this, some people only have in mind not to get stuck, so they compensade their bad driving skills with speed only.

i will add also, the susbention, tyres size and air pressure, extra weight....


i have another one, what are the steps whenever going down in such steep hills?

All of the above

That guy was in a mission. Simply crossing the crest with no idea what are the consequences.

Sometimes it is very dangerous to give a powerful car to some people.

my dear some of the dunes are really have a very sharp end, crossing it very dangers for long wheels base ,
this car remaind me about my old short cruiser, i can access all places very easly .
but when driver trying to cross this big sharp end dune he should slow down and drive fast

so my self i will let my car get stock, and never drive this way

and this video reminds everyone of the reason to look before you leap...... although not in the sand the principle is the same
