Then stop posting like you are in fact butt hurt about some n00b making comments... you're mad cause I blew my opportunity to make a U turn and had to go back up and make one? wow such a sin.
Still haven't justified why you weren't headed down the mountain when we were clearing out.

its one thing to stand on the side of the road and its another to be blocking the road.
we were about to walk back up the road and get in the cars being that the ranger and thier crew showed up. thats about when you decided to drive down the mountain in reverse.

Hey everyone, thanks for the concerns. That was me who went off that cliff (Johnson). Heres what happened, i was going uphill accelerating and come to a left turn, i dont remebering going too fast but i go into the turn with some understeer and as i exit the turn, i feel the back loosening up so i try to correct this by breaking and countering and before i knew it i was going off the cliff. Everything happened so quick i dont even know what to do. Im just glad im okay, i walked out of it with only minor cuts and scratches on my hand and a little bump. Thanks to everyone who tried to help and who was there when this occured. I know i have myself to blame i should have been more carefull and i learned from my mistakes. Im just thankfull to be alive. Sorry for giving subys a bad reputation because of my recklessness and mistake.

so according to your post you were doing the same exact thing I was doing... except I made an honest mistake and probably the wrong judgement call about where to turn around and you were on foot walking back to your car... at least I was trying to clear the scene... so what if I shoulda turned around 50 feet up I thought there might have been a better place to do it.
in my book, no harm no foul.

glad you are OK man. we all have a lot to learn, and I'm glad you walked away from the accident with that opportunity. sheet metal can be replaced but a person can't.
