The short and slow rides can be as bad as the long and wild ones. Two years ago at the bash my son and I were on the trail with a group doing about 15mph when at a point the trail made a jog to the right due to some boulders rolling on the trail. As we made the slight jog I caught either a big rock or stump with the right frt wheel. This caused a bump steer in which brought us up an incline causing us to flip the steering wheel spoke smacked my thumb (thought I broke it) which the momemtum put my arm outside of the buggy. I was lucky for I managed to get the arm back in before we hit. The 2 previous years someone had broken an arm and wrist at that same point. My son caught the whole thing on video. We put it on you tube titled polish rollover,to the song bad moon rising. This is when I realised I need the arm restraints.
