It's better to learn from other people mistakes by analyzing these offroad accidents or mistakes done by thousands of offroaders every year. This will be an educational tool with open discussions regarding mishaps in off-roading based on your own experience and off-road knowledge. Please keep it simple and relevant for learning purposes rather than making any insulting or unwanted remarks. The whole objective is to learn from other offroaders mistake so we can off-road safely.

Thanks @Gaurav@J-P L@Andrei S@Deepak Eswar for the drive !

@Mike M. Vey very big congratulations and Hugs! Akhper Djan!!! See you soon in new role!

Thank you Fred and all for waiting for me. Abu Dhabi roads were closed to reach the place. it was great fun! Learned a lot and looking forward for the next one 🚙

Thank you all for joining this morning! I hope you liked the track and drive itself. The Qudra area can sometimes be tricky with the amount of vegetation, but all in all it was not bad i believe. Especially the first part ( @M.Seidam his secret garden) was pristine and super nice to drive! We covered almost 43kms with very little stucks or issues. Thanks to @Mike M. in the support role, @Faraz94 as our sweep, and @Alex M as our second lead, we kept a good flow and minor issues were quickly resolved. https://www.wikiloc.com/offroading-trails/dxb-qudra-to-murquab-211870271 Some photos in the gallery: Newbie - Al Qudra to Murquab Hills - Dubai - 3 May 2025 - Carnity.com See you all in the sands again soon!

Thanks a lot for the very kind words @Andrew John Melvill! Quite humbling sir! It is always a pleasure to drive with you and I look forward to seeing you soon on the sand!

Massive Congratulation @Mike M., a very well-deserved promotion. Your love for the desert, the outdoors and the two vehicles you have put your personal stamp on is palpable to all who meet you! You will be a great mentor to many that pass through the drives that you will be supporting. Cheers Andrew

how should that have been recovered?? (assuming pulling from the back would have been better as it was slightly lower than the front allowing the car to pivot about the heavier end of the car) or hold/pull with a winch from the top, realign along the slope and allow controllled decent?

@skumar83 and @Gaurav have got one part absolutely right. He was in 2WD and that was the main cause. Another cause could be the soft suspensions, as when the front of the Jeep hit the other side of the dune it was not engaged in 4x4 which put the complete load of the car in front, plus the soft suspension allowed the front bumper to dig into the sand. With the forward inertia the back of the Jeep kept moving which caused the flip. 90% though if he was in 4x4 it would not let the car flip. Winner is @skumar83 and @Gaurav. Next episode to follow soon. Keep watching out this space.

SUPERB observation @skumar83, this is exactly I feel that 75% cause of flip was 2WD and 25% being too fast for crossing the crest, and why he was fast is because of 2WD or else he will get stuck. @Rahimdad please reveal the truth now if we are right or not?
