SAFETY TIP! - Samurai will fit just about anywhere.
« 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.

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