What was your worst crash?

[Tater049]

What was your worst crash that you have gotten into on your ATV? What atv were you riding and what happened to you and it?

I'll start, ok well I was riding my Dad's old 2002 Arctic Cat 375, and it was like the end of winter. So KI was going up my driveway and hit a patch of ice and got sideways. The ATV then hit a patch of dirt and rolled 8 times into my garage. Nothing in the garage got damaged but I broke my arm and the ATV's left front headlight got ripped out and the front got damaged. The hand brake got ripped off and my arm broke. So yea.

well, this was about a year ago, i was riding a 1992 Honda TRX 250X, this bike wasnt much to look at, but it was something to ride while we were rebuilding my blaster, well i was too inexperinced for how i was riding and i went off a tabletop and i lost my footing mid air, wen i landed the bike threw me off the side and i landed on my back, i got a huge bruise on my lower back that killed for a little while, i wasnt seriously injured and the bike landed and stalled a ways down the track.:rolleyes:

Mine has to be when I was at red river motorcycle trails near muenster,tx. Me and a buddy found a tall berm and we decided to ramp it since it made an awesome one. I hit it top of 4th gear and landed sidways. It sucked my left foot under the tire and sprang the hell out of it.

Oh yea I was on the quad thats in my sig.

Well my crash i dont remember but I will tell what I know and what I have been told. I was blasting across a corn field to get home from riding. I was in 4th gear pegged going against the rows and skimming water with front tires. next thing I know I wake up and the water is chest deep while i sit and Im choking on water, I stand up and see my quad about 20 Ft. from me upside down in water. I was told i was under water for about 30 sec. and my quad flipped several times in the air before landing. i got up, rolled it back on its wheels and it fired right up. went home and got in the shower cause it was only about 10 degrees outside at the time. only damage was bent handlebars.

My worst crash was the first time i ever drove a quad. I was about 11 and was out with my cousin on his 200 and he left me in the dust in the middle of nowhere and i didnt want to get lost so i tried to catch him and was going way to fast for my first time and i lost control and hit a rut and flipped a couple times. I thought i broke my collar bone but it turned out to be just a bad bruise and the quad was ok. Seven years later i have yet to fall so hopefully that was a one time thing.

my worst crash was on my 250ex i was riding in the woods about 30 and i go over the top of this hill and onto this steep off camber descent. i give it a little too much gas and the back wheels slide out and catch a root. it flipped up and pinned me up against a tree at some wierd angle and i was stuck against that tree for about 10 minutes with the engine against my leg. i finally crawled out and my leg was nasty and all my friends laughed

Ha the worst thing that ever happend to me on my quad was landing a jump and breaking the axle.

Riding a 3wheeler in the river bottoms when I was 12 and decided to sandwhich my foot between a big tree and the left rear tire at about 25 mph. After the impact i flew into a stand of itchweed (which has to be the devil's creation) and the atv rolled at least twice, maybe more judging by its distance from the tree. After a few minutes i decided to move, hobbled over to the machine and rode to the river to soak my purple foot in. Rode 4 miles home and went to the hospital where the Docs told me i had broken bones in my foot. Lesson of the story: rubber boots are not good protection. Switched to 4 wheels not too long after and haven't had many exciting spills since.

hit a tree in third gear and bent my bumper :o

[exrider2001red]

my crash is quad related and kinda stupid. in the winter up here we get a good amount of snow so when we were kids we were always on toboggans when i grew older and got my first quad it only mad sense to combine the two so we tied a robe to the sled and then tied it to the bike and towed the sled behind the bike going down the trial we would always swithc back and forth between driving the bike or being towed behinde it when it came to my turn my buddie gave a little too much gas coming off a small hill in my driveway and the sled started going faster then the bike he then noticed it and gave the bikeanother shot of gas which caused the rope to tihigten quickly and shoot me side wayss into a parked truck doing about 50 km my knee smashed off the sharp part of the back bumper split my knee open and caused a blood blister the size of a goose egg 1 month later i was alright and back on the sled but with brakes this time

[red4ever]

we do the same thing round here except w/o the snow.... and more corn stalks..... 40mph i ramped a dirt clod on a sled and things went into places and i dont wanna talk about it

[banchee dave]

my first quad was a blaster that I hit a tree with pegged in sixth gear. A small stump grabbed the skidd plate which shot me into the tree bending the frame almost in half. I only got bruised from the chest down. The second time on the same quad I was doing fish tails down my dirt road and I was only wearing a t-shirt, shorts and my helmet. The rear tire grabbed some hard pack and sprung me off into the road real fast. Did I mention I had shorts and a t-shirt on. Needless to say I had severe road rash and was picking pebbles out of my back for a week.

Just a little while ago on my banshee I was going to jump a birm or so I thought. I think I was in third, maybe fourth when I hit the ramp. I remember packing the rear shock so I could launch and get some air and distance. After I came off the lip the rear shot up into the air and I was slammed into the ground before I even knew what was going on. I don't know anything after that except I woke up on my back not being able to breath and someone telling me to lay still. When I was able to get up I was about 20 feet in front of my quad. The bike hit the ground twice from what I saw and landed on the wheels. I was able to remove my helmet and one glove when my left arm dropped, I couldn't move it after that. Later after I went to the hospitol, I found out I broke my coller bone and my shoulder blade. I also crushed my shoulder into the rotator cup. The bike landed hard onto my back and it broke my helmet. I totaled the frame. I have a new frame and upgraded from the stock suspension so I don't do that again, I hope.

WHERE SHOuld i begin the worst as kid well actually there's two the first my buddy had a yfm80 quad and there were 3 of us so we decided tp use his little utility cart a wedge a 2x10 in it to make a seat well we were ging thru a trail w/some rolling hills and turns weel i asked my buddy to slow down naturally he didn't and the cart pin holding it to the quad came out the tongue dug into the ground turning the wagon into a catapult w/ me as the projectile only to have the wagon land on top me. not hurt but one of those i told you so.

same buddy and I were on my xr80 going down a gravel logging road trying to catch some friends and we hit some dips in the road .it was a rythm section and on third dip the bike bottomed out and threw my buddy off the back of the bike. tried to grab him but missed. he turned into a dust ball when he stopped he was pretty scared up.

2 days before x-mas 06 I was riding my 450r on this rolling gravel road near my parents house nice day so I went for a quick spin well i coming back towards the house i had planned to jump to the bottom of the second hill but you need to running top speeds to get to the bottom well when i crested the first hill top at the end of fourth gearwell what do I see there's a truck, dead center coming the other direction i swerve at the last second missed the whole front of the truck and just about rubbed down the side only to get my left frt end run over by the trucks left rear tire. throwing me off, oh yeah did i mention that i wasnt wearing my helmet or chest protector the bike went one way and i went the other, over the bed of the truck. damage was minimal couple scrapes, sore ankle.
broken a-arms upper and lower, bent rim, frame, handle bars, shock,front bumper, and i think steering stem.

My worst was like 10 years ago on my old plaster. I was riding with a buddy, he was on his warrior with a chick on the back, we were on narrow trails and he went the wrong way coming head on to me. we were doing probibly like 50 when we met on the top of a blind hill. We had just enough time to avoid a head on though. My back right hit his front right and sent us and the wheelers flying. It ended up bending my axle at a 37 degree angle (we actually measured it, and cracked his frame. He had to get a new frame, and I a new axle. No physical injuries, but it messed the quades up pretty good

[DF400ex]

This is the worst that I've ever seen.

We were riding at a local gravel pit hitting some pretty big jumps when this chick came with her new blaster. She decided she wanted to jump with the boys so we paced her to the jump, but she got nervous and went like 2 gears to fast. When she landed over 45 feet farther than we usually do she landed on her tail bone. She ended up breaking her back and tail bone pretty badly. The wheeler was even worse. It flipped atleast a dozen times and then hit a tree gas tank first. The axle and handlebars were bent, the front a-arm was cracked, and the gas tank was destroyed.

Did I mention that her wheeler was 3 days old, lol.

[hondaeatr]

i have one, not too bad. My wife decided that she wanted to learn to ride and borrowed her dad's recon, I was riding a 400ex at the time. The first thing I told her was "whatever you do , do not get in front of me." What did she do? got right in front me when I had to get off to back up. The trails were narrow preventing me from passing her. she went into a ravine and pinned the throttle coming out. She had taken video of us at that crossing catching air and thought you had to pin it to make it out. well she hit it too fast and all wrong, hit a big root and catapulted her right into a tree ten feet in the air. the quad stopped and she didn't, she flew another ten feet before she hit the ground helmet first. the helmet broke off and knocked her out, she slid down into the creekbed on her face. she was pretty banged up, some road rash and a really big headache for a while, no concussion though, lucky! needless to say she took a break from riding for a while. now she wants me to get a 450 so she can have my blaster.

[400exrider720]

Mine was pretty stupid. I was wheelieing in the woods and hit a small stump which turned me right towards a tree and I had no time to set it down and stop. I was in second gear doing about 20. All that got wrecked was my front bumper but I hit the handlebars and got a nasty cut on my chest.
