Grandfather broke his neck the same way,, hit a ice shift,,,it was Christmas Eve and he was racing back to the house where family was waiting... he almost made it,,,no body was with him to go get help,,,count your blessings man,, you got real lucky,,,
@@wyattlewis2461 MO was right, he would have been hurting and the sled would be in pieces. I crashed on a lake at over 100 mph and the sled was scattered about 800 feet across the lake. 2 cracked ribs and couple of nice gashes later. Too me when he took his hand off to wave bye bye, lol, his ski went through the hard top layer, shot the skis to the right and he and the sled went for a roll. Glad he was okay, just don't think he was doing 90 mph.
People seem confused back pack are stupid unless you're on a mountain if you flying across a lake with a backpack full of monster stickers and flat brimmed 509 hats you deserve to crash like an idiot
@@SBender21 why is a backpack usless unless in the mountain lol. I always carry one. It holds my phone, smokes, snacks,liquid, knives, vice grips ect. Not a lot of storage on a rev once yoou pack it with tools and spare parts
Crunch on top from a melt, sugar sand under. It happens especially with a big heavy thing like that. Split second the rest is history. Unless you've been fooled and learned from snow like this you don't know.
I watched it happen to my dad once. He was racing another guy, started pulling ahead, and one of the skis dug in. It only took half a second. Thankfully he was fine.
Yep happened to me in a second. 37 years of riding. Caught a ski at full throttle and all she wrote. I crawled back to my house with a broken neck, ankle, f'd up knee and my peck muscle and bicep torn off the bone. 6 months later. bought another sled and rode the following season.
@@Dooguy Jesus man, riding alone and that happens. Got some grit in you to make it home, ive had one of those walk homes myself, riding at night, deep woods, deeper snow. Sounds like you ride off trail like me in NW MN, i grew up never seeing a groomed trail and without cell phones, sounds like you got the worst of all that. Do everything right then get effed up by a ski catching crust, just nothing you coulda done.
Man the guy didn't have both arms on the bar, he was out of control even before he lost control. One arm on the bar gives you nothing, might as well be riding blind.
My cousin bit it the same way at about 80 km/h. He was roughed up pretty bad. Nothing broken but bruised pretty dam good. You sir are a lucky fellow and I bet you felt that for a day or 10.
DEFINITELY NOT going 90mph. He would be 100% guaranteed to be dead if he hit the ground and instantly stopped from 90mph! His brain would smash against the inside of his skull like a bug on a windshield.
Had a friend do the same years ago, our helmets weren't as great back then. His face got all jacked up. Consider yourself lucky to walk away from that!
Something similar happened last weekend to me. On a lake riding with my group going about 80 I could see pretty far ahead of me but I started to gain on my friends in front of me so the snow dust started to catch up. Well I moved to the left to see and there was this huge snow drift and I hit it and it launched me into the air. Now I’ve jumped my sled a good amount of times so I wasn’t like panicking but then naturally as I start to come down I spot my landing and there is another decent sized snow drift so I lowered my front end squeezed as hard as I could and plowed through it. It hurt but I landed and kept going. If it was an ice ridge... I’d probably be obliterated on impact. Lakes are just really dangerous to cross especially if they are not marked and don’t get groomed.
Glad your ok! I agree.. Lakes are unpredictable. Even the same lake can have so many different conditions on it depending on wind, current, shade, etc.
Been there done that!! Not fun! Took a ambulance ride and got checked out, Luckily I walked away too!! Totaled my 2012 f800 sno pro, bent the tunnel, hit a ice heave on Mullet Lake in Michigan
I have done that myself a couple of times totaled my 600 triple that way there wasn't much left to my sled when it was done rolling. No seat no hood gas tank was hang off bent my tunnel. It hit so hard it put my studs through my inner cooler. Sad day for the 600. Plus it was 2 in the morning riding bye myself no one around. I was beat up pretty good but ok. Long walk till i finally ran into someone looking for something they lost on the trail. I have had a few high speed close calls. You learn to tuck and roll...lol glad he's alright scary thing that happens in a split sec. I only ride anymore if there is someone with me.you just never know what will happen
In 1997, I flipped my sled hitting a "pressure crack" at 17 years old around 80-90 MPH. I hit the crack at an approximated 45 degree angle and my body was leaning into the turn. My dad said I "skipped across the ice like a flat stone on water, I thought the sled was going to run you over". Sleds then had 8-10 inches of travel but rolled hard and fast. The sled was toast after the accident. Hood, skis, gauges, handle bar, and the suspension (one front shock broke the upper mount and crashed into the engine).The roll even snapped off the spark plugs. The machines at that time (even new), were not worth the repair after an accident like that. I would imagine they are not much different today. My dad told me to leave the sled on the ice until I could afford to fix it. I did not suffer any long term injuries from the accident however, I was young. That sled... an underwater attraction. There's a reason why the insurance is so high, especially today. Speed is fun, but can kill you faster than you think you can go.
There's a 2012 Arctic cat M8 turbo at the bottom of Trinity lake in fall creek Idaho, blew my belt going across the lake. Made a good under water tourist attraction as well😔
Those era skidoos all had a tendancy to do just this, when the ski can grab with higher speeds like this on the lake. Can catch you off guard if you aren't ready with 2 hands on the bars. Looks like he was going to wave to the guy to stop.
I did this same kinda crash going about 40mph on a frozen lake with a foot of snow, my right ski hit a chunk of ice from a ice fisherman, flipped my right off and landed on my hand breaking my thumb and throwing my helmet right off from the hit.
That reminds me of when I almost died but didn't get a scratch. I was on a 2007 Dragon 700 racing a Skidoo 600 on the Saginaw Bay. I hit one of the pressure cracks where the ice pushes up on top of itself, luckily on the side that made a 3 - 4 foot ramp. I was hard on the brakes until I got to it then nailed the gas, launched it, and actually landed it. I looked down at the speedo when I landed it and was doing 86 mph! If the ice was pushed up the other way I would've died for sure!
that's why you always make a slower trial run first if you're gonna haul ass on a sled lol. I did the same shit on a snow drift I didn't see doing 122mph I learned my lesson from that one. I shot right over it and it seemed like forever before I hit the snow again. scared my ass good lol. I was certain I was a dead man at that speed but somehow landed flat without crashing. never again lol
I've done the same. Not once but 9 times now since 2007. These rider forward platform sleds are dangerous when riding crusty snow. I've been riding sleds since 1979. The old sled designs would never do this. My 2007 yamaha phazer 500 4 stroke FX. I've crashed at 40 kmph and all the way up to 130kmph. It friggin comes out of nowhere. Not only crusty snow but slush is another pain in the ass that has crashed me. Wider skies really helped. Thats about the only fix thats helped.
my cousin did the same thing one time up in vt but i was on the back.. it is amazing how fast these sleds go and two fall into a crevasse at that high speed lucky two be alive... the soft snow
Interesting . Here in Southern MI we had 2" of snow it got up to 40F and rained.. the cooled off and snowed 8" On the Lake was either cold snow with slush underneath or a crust with slush underneath. My Skidoo 800 Renegade has Simmons II Powder skis.. the steering started jerking uncontrollably at 35 to 40 MPH.. It was a trip .. I could not hardly control the handle bars.. A situation where power steering would control it .. I decided to not go any faster on certain parts of the Lake because I did not want to crash like this guy. Made me want to check my ski toe.
Might have said 90 on the speedo but that’s track speed, you guys were maybe going 60 tops 🤷♂️ still tho glad everyone was alright! That’s some scary shit right there, that could have ended very badly!
I wiped on moosehead lake Maine doing around 85 90 not fun at all!! I didn’t think I was ever going to stop rolling nuts! Didn’t break anything but my pride and parts !
Years ago a buddy was doin' about 40-50mph on a Kawasaki Invader down a country road and hit the rear of a parked pickup truck. They airlifted him down to Toronto that night. He survived but was in hospital for months. Permanent injuries.
I hit a break and shelf in the ice crossing the lake at night this crack was not there the day before I wasn't looking but if I had to guess I was going about 90+100 I flew about 100 years from where the sled was resting both skis blown off both ifs bars mangeled and a cracked belly . I walked away seeming unharmed some bruises and scratched . Humbling
I can't believe people would need to be told this , but taking your hands off the wheel at high speed is one very stupid thing to do !!! Just WOW ! I can't believe the stupidity !
@@BasementProductions4 the fact that you think people are dumb enough to buy your bullshit is hilarious. Anyone who has experience riding knows this wasn't even close to a 90mph crash
I had that happen to me. I was going 75. On lake st France's I Run mountain skies on my sleds now had five or six close calls but no wrecks the skies help with water crossing also
I did something similar on a lake i hit a mooring anchor doing 90 plus took some damage but rode away after we forced the ski that hit back into the correct direction.
I hate seeing that..happen to me feb of 2020 ..hit bad ice at 60 -70 mph.broke femur shoulder and air lifted out..still trying to rehab..You were vey lucky...tough vid to watch
I’ve had the same thing happen to me while test riding a sled. It started a death wobble going about 80 mph. Luckily I stayed on the sled but it was a close one.
Explain to me why the hell you were going 80 test riding a sled that's that's downright stupid ever heard of the saying you break it you buy it they would have made you buy it whether you wanted it or not!
Hard to tell what skis are on it but the dual runner pilot skis create so much drag and dig into the snow so bad that I can see this happening, I changed mine out for the newer DS-2 single runner skis that are a lot smoother on the bottom and create a lot less drag. I was afraid of having this same accident happen to me, my 07 Summit would break through the crust instead of riding on top of it.
@@BasementProductions4 2 years on the DS-2 skis and I will never go back, with the dual runner pilot skis my sled would just dive into the snow for no reason it tossed me off a couple times at slow speeds I was afraid to push it very fast for that reason. The DS-2 single runner skis stay on top of the snow and have way less drag it seems, I would bet that is what happened in this accident.
Gotta be careful on sleds boys. Few years ago a friend and his older brother was sledding in north central Pa and running at night. Younger brother comes around a bend in trail to find his older brother ran into an unexpected tree that had fallen across the trail and broke his neck n died! Imagine the heartache...
25 plus years ago, my buddy and I were going through a field maybe 80-90km/hr, not a lot of snow on the ground hit a frozen ground knot in the farmer's field, he flew off the machine and pile drived his head into the frozen ground, shattered his helmet, broke his neck, I watched him fly through the air right in front of me, I missed the ground knot by 6 inches to the left, sold my machine the following week... He was permanently paralysed from the chest down, then he got double jabbed last year and died 2 weeks later with blood clots on his brain...
it was due to the snow conditions. It seemed hard and crusty, so when he lifted his hand, they ski hooked under the crust layer of snow. You can hear how hard the snow was at the end when they are walking.
Did same thing 2 years ago herniated 2 lower disks and popped 4 ribs out at the sternum. Still have back pain at night. Can't wait for this season to start 🤣🤣
I once flipped doing around 50 and luckily I was fine, only thing that broke on the sled was the windshield and it left with a high idle lol. All I can say from my experience is definitely invest in studs for your track, I hit ice when it happened.
Well when your at speed it requires your full attention, looking forward and not looking over at your buddy and turning your ski slightly wich leads to this unfortunate event.
Watched same exact thing happen in an open field to someone who had been drinking way to much. Much like this guy, the rider landed on his back .But the guy in this video started tumbling like a football, the one I witnessed had the dismounted rider doin a 70mph break dancer's back spin. Kinda like a turtle shot out of a cannon.
Good thing he was only doing 40mph in that 90mph crash.

Theres no way that was near 90mph. The length at which he flipped and stopped, no way. Id say 50mph. Still, very lucky!
My thoughts exactully. He only wished that sled would go close to 90mph. Im guessing 60-70 tops.
Yup more like 40 even

Good thing he was smart enough to be wearing a helmet!!!
not smart enough to be looking where he's going. LOL
He was going at least 90! That crusted snow can bite
Yup, been there. Never drive fast on crusty snow, the skis do a weird left right left right left right and they hook up like a son of a gun.
Gotta be careful on sleds boys. Few years ago a friend and his older brother was sledding in north central Pa and running at night. Younger brother comes around a bend in trail to find his older brother ran into an unexpected tree that had fallen across the trail and broke his neck n died! Imagine the heartache...
That is tough. My sincere condolences.
@@BasementProductions4 hey, thanks 👍
Yall can look at the spedo when he zooms in it reads 35 than slower and slower
Speedo on the cat doesn't work...
25 plus years ago, my buddy and I were going through a field maybe 80-90km/hr, not a lot of snow on the ground hit a frozen ground knot in the farmer's field, he flew off the machine and pile drived his head into the frozen ground, shattered his helmet, broke his neck, I watched him fly through the air right in front of me, I missed the ground knot by 6 inches to the left, sold my machine the following week...
He was permanently paralysed from the chest down, then he got double jabbed last year and died 2 weeks later with blood clots on his brain...
Is the machine going to be OK?
That Ogio backpack didn't hold up so well lol
Wouldn't even warranty it either. @OGIO what gives?
I have yet to meet a snowmobile operator with common sense
Looks like the guy waived to his buddy and his left ski hit a bump under the snow which caused you sled to cut into the snow and turn
it was due to the snow conditions. It seemed hard and crusty, so when he lifted his hand, they ski hooked under the crust layer of snow. You can hear how hard the snow was at the end when they are walking.
I think that his right hand simply pulled on the right side of the handlebar.
That was so violent. My cousin died a similar way.
Glad your buddies ok. Dam
His little backpack full of liquor flew off🤣
only poor judgement led to this situation
Did same thing 2 years ago herniated 2 lower disks and popped 4 ribs out at the sternum. Still have back pain at night. Can't wait for this season to start 🤣🤣
Glad yoru ok!!
I think he was trying to wave bye bye lol really lucky to be standing after a crash like that.
I can predict the future. I knew I was going to crash so I wanted to say good bye
Awesome the axe didn't stick in your back bro 🤠 Wave 🌊
Woooo! Who's up for round two!?!
I once flipped doing around 50 and luckily I was fine, only thing that broke on the sled was the windshield and it left with a high idle lol. All I can say from my experience is definitely invest in studs for your track, I hit ice when it happened.
Couldn't agree more!
Lake dunmore?
Well when your at speed it requires your full attention, looking forward and not looking over at your buddy and turning your ski slightly wich leads to this unfortunate event.
Dad? is that you?
This stuff happens when the MPH exceeds the IQ.
Damn, he won't do that again. Uh yeah, he probably will.
Why was his left hand off the bar.
Swag bro.. respect the drip
been there done that , snow in so many places it shouldn't be.
thats why i will stick with my 250 tundra that happens so quick luckily no one died
I got a 250 Polaris. That's the good thing about a small sled

My wife agrees. On my 250, when she gets pissed off at me, she can catch me on foot!!🤣🤣😂
A good example of not paying attention. More interested in waving than controlling the machine. I see that a lot with motorcycles.
Nobody waves on a motorcycle then crashes.
which year this MXZ ?
06 600SDI
Thats def not 90 mph. That sled would be in pieces. Ill give you 55
Thats what happens with the up right riding position snowmobiles. They are tipsy!
You definitely dont ride them the way we rode the old couch style units.
@@happyindeed6392 0l mach z 800 T was perfect for this.
He flipped in the best way possible....at least he cleared the sled.
Watched same exact thing happen in an open field to someone who had been drinking way to much. Much like this guy, the rider landed on his back .But the guy in this video started tumbling like a football, the one I witnessed had the dismounted rider doin a 70mph break dancer's back spin. Kinda like a turtle shot out of a cannon.
My buddy broke his back doing this same thing in Winnipeg in 1999 Polaris xcr 600 or xc fast sled pretty sure it was a triple
I score his tuck and roll a perfect 10! 60,90mph.. whatever, that young man has ninja tumbling skills..
You know what if you just drive normal this doesn't happen so instead of him sending it it sent him 😂
No good story ever started with "well I was driving at a normal speed"
