Today I was plowing snow on my dads quad, the rancher since we have a plow on it. I don't wear a helmet while plowing because it's cold and i'm just plowing right ? (that and I've outgrown my helmets so i don't have one)

Well I was turning around to make another pass, I'll admit i kind of went to turn around quick, but nothing crazy or reckless. Thats when the plow dropped and dug into the ground, the quad flipping and flung me off and as i smack the ground in the corner of my eye I see the quad barreling toward me and I start scrambling across the ground as fast as possible to get as far away as I could.

Plow has a little bend in the curved part of it from the quads weight being on it, the bars got bent on the quad and the control boxes got scuffed and scratched, other than a little sore though I'm ok.


Cliffnotes, wear your damn helmet, even when you aren't screwing around...

Yea, flipping the quad while plowing was the last place I'd figure it would happen, it's a manual plow, so I pull a lever to raise and lower the blade, and for some reason it just dropped and dug into the ground.
