Snowmobile Hill Climb Crash Driver Slides
I've never driven a snowmobile on flat land much less up a steep mountain. What do you think the average snowmobile weighs? It's got to be 500 pounds or more.
What you're going to see in the video below will blow your mind. My guess is the angle of the chute in that mountain is about 40 to 45 degrees. That's between a 9/12 and a 12/12 pitch roof.
Pay really close attention to about 1:30 into the video. You'll see something tiny come down the mountain to the left. Then seconds later something else comes down the mountain. You'll not believe what you'll see as the video plays out.
Then, listen to what the driver yells at the end of the video. Believe it or not, he was not injured. Did you see his shadow as he was trying to chase and grab the rolling machine?
