Not sure he could have crossed, maybe, maybe not. Better here to steer down TMO. 

Yes @Emmanuel going down left is always safe.

Excitement got the better of him! Know your car, jeeps are very light and have virtually no weight at the back, which will cause it to nose dive in jumps. Same goes for most SWB vehicles. Understand the weight dynamics of your car!
 

As far as driver error, he either lost his brakes or didn’t slow down while coming down, even if you don’t want to use your brakes to preserve them you can put the car in a low gear so that the car engine brakes and gives you control of the car going downhill!

It was interesting to witness it, and for Rahim to be shot gun. Luckily everyone is all right and no one got hurt. It didn’t stop us from having fun and a nice breakfast.

Trying to do sideys/side sloping while climbing. Not a good idea, specially on a chewed up track

I hope that Mohammed and passengers are doing well.

Yes everyone is doing well, thank god. Mohammed got the cops paper and it will be sorted soon with insurance.

Does anyone spotted big dip or bush at 0.07 sec that bounced the car heavily....? Watch in full screen.

Also intention to steer left than climbing up as desertdude rightly mentioned would have saved it completely.

FJC in stock state is very tipsy, added with 3-4 inch lift is a recipe for disaster. We have mentioned and pointed same last week at Qudra exit and we never knew this could prove fatal so fast. Sad.

However, such incident always remind all of us that every sport has some associate risk and soon we acknowledge, embrace and learn to stay clear from such risk, better it is for everyone.

No one got hurt, and that helped us all get over it and still enjoy the day and have some laughs
