I worry about this lots, there's so may spears laying out in the bush it's happened to lots of people.....sometimes with big trama there's not a lot of blood, I chopped the end of my finger off and it barely bled lol.

rangers have foot rests on both sides of cab, any branch, log etc, catches in this area and explodes into the passenger area, cure is cover this area with sheet metal over the molding voids and a skid plate. the question is when, not if it will happen, both sides on mine with sticks just missing legs.

My rzr has a thin floor and fire wall. I’ve been wanting to get armour for both. When I’m riding fast I constantly watch for sticks that will f me up. The fire wall is the most important I’d say. The manufacturer should definitely have beefed up plastic in these areas

Yes, its real. Same thing happened to my friend. He ran over a fallen tree. A branch speared into the foot well.
It grazed past the rad hose, broke his accelerator pedal. Ruined the weekend.

I've had a fallen tree branch break the floor of a Ranger before, but this would really suck.....assuming it's real. Should it be bleeding more?

I would think it's real, my friends daughter on an ATV hooked a branch with her leg and opened up her thigh ...something like 35 stitches to close the tear [pretty gross] it didn't bleed very much. He sent me pics, I'll see if I can find them.

had a branch catch on the cage and just about took my friends head off. missed him, but could have been really bad

slowing it down a bit helps.

Why did you chop your finger off? Yakuza member?
Jesus! I had to look that up, I still have a pretty firm grip on my sword though ,I shouldn't be working around any fan blades.
