I fell off mine and long story short it went down the hill without me into one of the few clumps of trees on the hill. (Of coarse)

so as i got up sliding on my belly i watched helplessly as it was doing 30+ when it made contact i was sure it was gonna be mangled. (I could have swore i seen the track lift when it made contact)

Even once i got up there i could not tell if anything was broken so i started sawing off branches only to find it smacked about a 8-9" tree straight into the left a arm perfectly between the ski and bumper.

So again i couldn't quite tell if anything was broken but i was 100% sure it was gonna be bent. Once we pulled it out to mine and everyone else's amazement the sled is mint and only suffered a small scratch on the hood.

I think i just got lucky but man am i happy! I think i have one of the good ones because i have almost 700km on original belt as well
