IMG_5011.MP4 May be: till reaching top seems nice, afterwards while side sloping, in absence of enough speed and efforts to fight with gravity cause this happened. He could have been move his steering wheel towards left /gravity to help his car move towards gravity & avoid such incidents!! 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost the momentum and he could have turned down before his rear started fish tailing. Most important rule - Never ever fight gravity Most important - he must have wore his seatbelt. Heard he died in this accident. few from other groups were saying - his engine stalled and transmission was stuck all of sudden. 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederic Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Horrible accident. Looking at the dune formation I have the impression he ended up in a very soft patch or indeed stalled as he lost momentum in a split second. 7 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Srikumar Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Somehow it didn't seem like the engine died. He was definitely loosing momentum and he made the mistake of trying to steer up again and that was the final nail in the coffin If the engine did stall then I would say that it's a case of sheer bad luck to happen with no prior indication 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mujtaba Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Too slow on the angle he is on, the gravity is the king in pulling down. He should have kept the speed up or steered down 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
