4X4 Fail Videos

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what's a moving picture worth?  Here's a collection of short clips showing how not to drive a 4WD, how not to recover, how not to do pretty much anything.  This collection isn't about getting stuck, we all do that.  It's not about a simple error of judgment, because we all do that too.  Instead, it's about pure, deep, wrongness, usually sustained over a period of some minutes.  In some cases it's ignorance, in other cases you have to wonder what was going through their brains.

Hummer on the rocks

Why you don't use lots of power in a low gear.  If you've come to a halt in rocks, right hoof has only one consequence....

How not to recover

Six minutes of utter stupidity.

That won't work

Perhaps the oddest recovery technique ever seen.  There's a reason why it's never been seen before and that's because it is never going to work.

Circle work failure

Or maybe it's not circle work.  Whatever it is, it ends in tears.

Beach recovery failure

One after another....this is funny or would be if it wasn't so dangerous in places.
