Just before new years celebrations, my friend asked me to come with him to keep an eye on his children.
He has a quad bike and this thing here. I think its a can-am Maverick 1000R.
What he decided to do was buy some inflatable doughnut things, and tie us all to the back of his Maverick.
I was a bit concerned due to my back, but I thought, he wouldn't be too crazy, due to having 3 children being pulled along too.
He started off at a normal pace, where he went around the corner, and we slide around nicely.
he started getting to confident and ended up sideswiping us into a big curb, and snow pile, at about 30KM/h. This caused me to flip over onto my front, sliding on my belly, with snow going up my t-shirt. As I was slowing down, the biggest kid flew into my shoulder at full speed.
I told my friend I am not sitting on the doughnut anymore, but in the maverick.
Luckily I did because later on that day, he sideswiped the kids into a big snow pile, and they all flew off.
It must have hit with some force, due to the D-clamp looking like a J clamp.
Please be careful on these machines.
