My cousin, threw his arm out in Moab like that as we were leaning towards a rock. Had to put it in park and had a lecture on it. Yeah, natural reflex but keep your arms in the truck

I have seen people do that without getting hurt. I know it is a reflex but really are you going to hold up a 6000# truck with your arm?

Ouch...
What reflex are you talking about? Push the tree out of the way??? I don't know, but from my experience if something is happening with a car I greep my steering wheel even tighter, you never know when you will have to fight it out. My reflex is two hands on the wheel at all time.

I hate it when people have that reaction, but even worse is when a passenger is scared and tried to grab the STEERING WHEEL instead!!:banghead:

We all yelled at him. Poor Adrian. Luckily it wasn't the end result of this video. Close but in cigar

For any of you that have the '09 / '10 with the airbag issue, keeping all parts of the body in the vehicle at all times is not limited to arms for trees / obstacles. Fru said he was about to stick his head out of the window to see ahead when his side airbags deployed at HFAP not long ago. *THANK GOD* he was sitting upright in his seat when it happened. I don't even want to think about what would happen to a person with their head out the window when those things go off. It sounded like a cannon when they deployed and anything in their way is violently relocated upon deployment.
