The feeling in your stomach just hurts when you know its going over. I have almost come to expect it now. I just saw these pictures and it brought back the memories from each time I have flipped. I luckily have never been offshore but the last time was a night and so it added to the excitement.
In '84 blew over a Lazer tunnel at about 95. That one hurt pretty good, dislocated shoulder, three broken fingers, broken nose and half the hide skinned off my face.
Was Champion prostaff from '85 to 2001, did a lot of demo rides each year (over 600 year) and if you ever experienced it, it was quite impressive. Hardest maneuver was the breach stop, top speed to zero in about 30 feet, chop the power and spin it to a stop. Better be holding on. Twice wasn't quite enough and ejected myself right out. Weeeeee......
Can't tell you how many times I've slid the scooter up on the bank trying to make a turn, fortunately it's no big deal, carry a come along and can just stick my mud anchor in and winch it across dry sand If I need to. And have... that's exactly why I run the little boat, no matter how bad I goof up I can get out of it. Not fun, but doable.
If you don't cross the limit, you'll never know what it is.
