Looks like you rolled your car in your Avatar!
I have rolled a Cat D950 in real life, off the side of a hill….
I was building a motocross track on a fairly steep hill, obviously steeper than I thought! Had half a bucket of rocks (the enemy of all MX racers) turned sideways a bit and OVER IT WENT!
I was doing cartwheels in the cabin! About the third cartwheel I saw it was slowing down and bailed out the side like Superman! I flew through the air, no one hurt, the Cat was toast! I looked up and all my friends were LAUGHING!!! They heard a big GROAN from the Cat going over and then me jumping out of the cabin! With friends like that….
It took 2 cranes and another D950 to put it on the rubber again! No structural damage and I used the other D950 to finish the track! I can laugh about it now but it was a wild ride! Placed third in my MX race after all that too.
Gotta love those Cats, even in JCB territory!
