[thushara_g]

Have a look at this insane action.

This is the Lion's back of Moab, Utah.

It is a pretty crazy challange and lot of people try it. So many accidents also has happened.

This video shows a lone guy doing the drive and his actual feelings on audio. Video itself will raise your heart rate.

Yup. I used to live out in Utah, the offroading is insane there..especially in Moab and places in the south around those parts. Lots of open land, desert, rocks and hills to play on.

Once they showed on “Ripley’s believe it or not” (even not sure abt the programme) a couple climbed in their vehicle (think this is the place) and falls all the way down. Surprisingly escape unharmed.

No machan … Went on those 2 programs too ..... anyway ,,, that was a awesome ride…

[Watchman]

just occured to me... how come the authorities still allow people to climb this rock even after the accidents.. i'm not complaining.. but normally you'd expect officials to stop this kinda thing right.... cos clearly its not the safest off-roading feat!!!

Regular auto insurance doesnt cover off roading machan. Being brave is just separated by a very thin line from stupidity. I think Lion's Back is more to the stupid side. There were some cases where drivers were drunk too. So figure it..

insurance doesnt cover almost all motorsports.. not even track events.... they dont dont even cover accidents that hapen during track meets (in the UK etc)
