Title: SAFETY TIP! - Samurai will fit just about anywhere.
Post by: ebewley on March 17, 2006, 07:51:18 AM
California BLM -

Staying on designated routes in remote public land areas of the California
 Desert became an important lesson for an OHV recreationist and his
 passenger who fell down a vertical mineshaft last weekend in eastern Imperial
 County (luckily, a broken arm was the only injury). Traveling off-road in a
 designated "limited use" area (where travel is restricted to identified safe
 routes), the two men spent Sunday afternoon and night -- 20 hours total --down
 the abandoned mineshaft before being rescued.

 BLM arranged to have the vehicle extracted. An investigation is underway.

I have cruised that area, and I know some
of those shafts are steep and deep.

 :o :o I wonder if he is going to buy a full-size truck now?  Good to see that they came out with little injuries.

That's pretty amazing.  I wonder how far they fell.

Glad they are OK. Man, that is a slightly unnerving sight seeing that zuk's rear coming out of that shaft.

 Do you think it's still drivable?

Aside from the bent cab, it looked plenty driveable. Id say it did pretty good for a 25 ft fall.
