Have you tried doing this?

During an off-road party last weekend, my front wheel fell into a ditch. I panicked and subconsciously put my feet out of the Jeep.
Later, someone told me that this is very dangerous and that no matter what happens, I should not put my hands or feet out to try to stop the truck from rolling over.

Yes, you broke the number 1 rule of wheeling. If you don't trust yourself then install some race car mesh to keep your limbs inside and not mashed on rocks.

Yeah, I doubt any of us can Superman our vehicles off a rock or stop a roll! Especially if it is moving.

"They" say the same thing about putting a foot down on a moving cycle...just don't.

Putting a foot down on a moving motorcycle (it's kept me upright!) has no relevance to putting a foot out of a moving truck.

To prevent a tragedy like this from happening in the future, take note of these quick and easy roller coaster safety tips:

1. Obey the listed age, height, weight, and health restrictions. The measurement guidelines at the entrance to a ride are not just to see how much you've grown since last year -- make sure to pay attention to what they say, and don't try to sneak bellow the bar.

2. Watch the ride first, so you know what to expect. See how riders are loaded and unloaded. Watch how the safety belts are fastened first, so that when you get on the ride, you know what to do.

3.Never be afraid to ask the park employee questions. If you feel something is not properly secured, or you just want to double check, ask. Don't be embarrassed to speak up or repeat questions.

4. Keep your head, hands, arms legs and feet inside the ride at all times. It's important to keep all body parts inside the vehicle while it's moving. If you want to put you hands in the air for that first drop, go ahead. Just be sure to safely return them to your car for the next part of the ride.

5. Keep your eyes looking forward and your head up to protect your neck from injury. Roller coasters are prone to sudden accelerations and abrupt changes in direction. Keep you head up and looking forward to ensure the sudden jerks don't hurt your neck.

6.Wait until instructed to remove your safety belt/lap bars/shoulder harnesses and exit the ride. After the ride stops, don't unbuckle until you're told to do so. Wait until the park employee tells you to exit to exit the vehicle before moving on to your next destination.

7. Take frequent breaks between roller coaster rides. The rides aren't going anywhere. Give your body time to rest and readjust before jumping onto the next coaster. If you start to feel unwell, respect your body's request to slow down.

8. Don't get on a ride that looks poorly maintained. Follow your instinct. If your gut tells you that wooden coaster looks too rickety, opt out. There's no harm in avoiding a ride that looks like it just might collapse with one more run.

9. Never stand up while a ride is in motion. This may seem obvious, but it is often people's natural instinct to try and escape the ride if something goes wrong. If you ever find yourself in this situation, fight the urge, stay seated, and wait for an operator to give further instructions.

10. If you see something, say something. As much as it's your responsibility to take care of yourself, it is important to look out for the safety of others on the ride as well. If you see unsafe conditions or behavior, report it to a park employee immediately. You never know: your comment could save a life.

Doing it with aluminum panniers and the wrong boots and you probably won't do it again, at least not until lower leg gets out of a cast.

Reminds me of the most common last words in Texas.... "Here hold my beer, watch me do this?" The whole thing seemed a bit unnecessary or more easily done unless you just like holes and driving in them to see if anything breaks. Yeah, you gotta straddle but...

C’mon, if your leg can’t hold up a 5,000 lb vehicle, you need to up your workouts on leg day. Typically most people remove the roll cage so there is no intereference reaching overhead in a roll over so they can toss the Jeep back onto all 4 wheels.

By the by, your occupation is prime minister? That is so cool.
