This happened a few years ago out in the Knik River Valley; Alaska. This is Metal Creek, the last water crossing before the Knik Glacier. Check out the Video.

I've had my three-wheeler out here once and did not attempt a crossing.

This is what happened, as written by those who were there;

Shoot, put some 48" tires on it and fill them with helium, you could probably fly.
