The frame rails grinding on the three foot ledge weren't helping with forward momentum either. We all are guilty of stacking rocks precariously under tires only to have the stack tumble down, and the rig settle once more on the frame. It is really easy to just kick the rocks back under the tire, especially when it's spinning and the rock only needs a fraction of an inch to go for the tire to grab it up and send the rig up the trail. The onlookers are amazed that a leg can be so flexible. Calmly, the unfortunate trail guide directs the driver back and off the leg.
People rush to the bent leg guy and expect to see a serious compound fracture.
