Snow is not required, but it helps. I rolled mine over 25JUN97. Spent over
40 min. under it, dug my way out, some kids found me and called ambulance.
Luckily for me I was at work, helps with the bills. Crushed my left tibia in
about 6 pieces. Wore a external fixator with pins and wires holding the bone
pieces together. Spent 9 weeks in THE BED! Off work for about 6mo., physical
therapy for 3 mo.(had to learn to walk again).
Although they are lots of fun and handy for lots of things, they are just as
dangerous. My sympathies to anyone who has ever been hurt by our
hobby.Anyone else out there in the "Mule Kick Club"?
