Nah. I read the fine print. They specifically said no engine covers were injured in the making of this video
down the face of the mountain. That accident was one of the reasons i purchased the BS.
I wonder now. Maybe that is something Ford would purchase the wreck off the insurance co to study it. Here I was thinking though that she was in the car when it rolled. I must’ve missed that part of the story.Ford should have given that women and her dog a new Bronco Sport for taking the BS down the side of the mountain, sitting in for the crash dummy. She had no seat belts on and got ejected out of the car. Not sure she would have lived if she rode the Bronco
Now I think the discussion has gone far enough that you are required to post a video link.She was driving in the car without seat belts. She got ejected - tossed out from the windshield after a few tumbles and the dogwas smart enough to jump out the window when he knew her driving was crap in a basket
thanks...yes, this video.
That will get your attention!
They repaint the centerline on that road more than any other road, or so I have been told. Everyone on the cliff side lane hugs the centerline and wears it off. It is very easy on a motorcycle (the only way I’ve been down that road).That will get your attention!
I hope the woman is OK.
We have friends in Colorado and we've driven on some pretty hairy roads, but nothing quite like that. We're always in our Sprinter-based RV (not ginormous, but way too big for roads like Black Bear Pass). That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
Seriously, that is not my idea of a good time. I would HIKE that road but not drive it -- not for "fun" anyway.
We've been on a lot of smaller mountain roads out west on the edge of steep slopes or cliffs with drops of several hundred feet (or more). Most don't bother me. I prefer guardrails but if the road is wide enough (standard lanes with at least a couple feet of shoulder) I'm OK without them. The only road that really had me concerned was US 550 near Ouray:
That's not the worst section, just what I found with a quick search.
When you're in an RV with mirrors sticking out over a foot and you have a semi coming toward you at 60 mph, that road seems awfully narrow! There are places where there is not even a white line because the blacktop has fallen away.
