That sucks hope there is no lasting injuries. The dog too.
That had to be one scary tumble. One more roll and it looks like it may have gone further, the vehicle. She was thrown?

Just when she thought how much fun she was having.

No seatbelt on I guess.

Wishing a speedy recovery. Hopefully too her vehicle has insurance coverage that will get her a new one. Just don't drive that pass anymore.

Has anyone here ran this trail before? Just how 'dangerous' is it? It seems to me the switchbacks aren't too bad, but the consequences for being even a little not careful can be deadly.

Hope they both recovery fully!

Wow... This just shows how bad the factory roll cages are. Look at how intact that Bronco Sport is after supposedly tumbling 400ft while the entire top half of the Wrangler is just flattened.

The Bronco sport is an entire roof? It’s not an apples to apples comparison.

I read that the pup's injuries were relatively minor... small miracle.
Thanks! Being someone who likes most dogs more than most people, I always worry about the pups in situations like this.
