x5 control

If they person in this video just yanked the steering wheel to try to avoid the crash, would he have rolled it or is this an impossible save?
Just curious.

Thanks!!

Nah to roll it the tires would need a lot more grip. Way more than was available clearly. If you think about it, he just screwed up the approach. After passing the car, he had to go right to avoid traffic, then yanked it to the left without loading up the tires. Once he hit the sand, even praying wouldn't help. Too fast for such a stunt.

You know whats nuts is that, remember Weasel and his 4.6is? SO he was just messin around in his yard. He caught a slide a few times and all was good. He said he was doing 20 25 mph into a slide and the left rear wheel caught a small tree root and flipped that his baby over.

So just like Slick said, there wasn't enough traction or an obstacle didn't get in their way to stop movement. I am still surprised about that X just going on side to side on each axle and the guy didn't lose a mirror??? Ill tell ya what though, he's gonna need a new CV boot, window reg, tranny fluid change... lol
