    Trike on Maximum Exposure

    I was just watching max-x on tv. This dude flipped a yamaha quad over ontop of himself going up a small embankment. It landed ontop of him and he was pinned down by the bars. (the narrator said nothing about it being easy to flip or anything)

    Then i see this guy on a yamaha tri moto going up a sandhill. Its very steep. ( the narrator is all the while saying that it is an "atc" "and they stopped making them because they flip easy") The guy stopps on the hill and tries to put it down a gear or two. The trike starts too roll down the hill backwards. The guy then decides to bail off.....To late the bike rolls over and he goes with it. It flattens him then comes to a halt! He is in bad pain. Then afterwards they show him sitting on the trike talking to the camera. hes saying to wear a helmet etc.

    The quad flipped over.........the trike dident, it just rolled.......

    Geez these people love giving 3-wheelers a bad name.
