Car Surfing

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A man was killed on Friday night when the four wheel drive on which he was riding flipped over when it reached the bottom of a sand dune at Wylie Bay, near Esperance, Western Australia. The 24yo man was on the car's roof when its bullbar buried in the sand at the bottom of the dune just before midnight. He was pinned when the vehicle rolled over on top of him. Others in the convoy of cars driving through the dunes dug him out but resuscitation attempts failed and he was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.

While car surfing is one of those activities that I think has become too common this one stands out since this mook decided to attempt it on a sand dune. At least on a hard surface the car is relatively stable, but on a sand dune the car is apt to behave like a bucking bronco. Thanks for sending this in.
