Every once in awhile I would see some idiot get stuck doing something dumb. Like taken a crew cab 4x4 lifted dually up dirt road switchbacks. Or people freeze from fear of heights.

The guy who caught it on the trail cam is lucky he didn't get t-boned there otherwise they may all of died. She was what 50 foot in front of him?

From the pics they appear to have the same vehicle, and judging by hers as it flew by she upgraded it. So she may of been as simple as she was hesitant to roll her tires against the mountain side.

Hopefully she is alright.

I change my opinion after reading further. Her dumb ass boynfriend needs to learn to drive, and get over scratching up his jeep.
Not sure what you're talking about ????

The jeep started rolling and went over the edge after the driver got out. Failure of parking brake and/or driver to properly secure vehicle before exiting the vehicle.

It could have happened almost anywhere but in this case the surroundings and thus the results were spectacular. A half mile down the road from us a lady parked and got out and the car started rolling and she tried to catch it and it ran over her with fatal results.
