well, i bought a mxz 670 and decided to let a buddy ride it. He is fimiliar with sleds, so i didnt think it was a problem. He took off across a 1/2 mile long field and never let off the gas. He looked down to see how fast he was going, then looked back up and there was a power pole 10 feet in front of him. he just missed that pole by inches. about 5 feet on the other side of that pole is a ditch and a road. He hit the ditch flew across the road approx. 200 ft. without even touching the ground. He hit the other side so hard it ripped all the boggie wheels off, and the whole front suspension broke off. The whole sled is junk. The only thing that can be re-used again is the seat, and motor. It ripped both his shoes off, broke his helmet, ripped his sweat shirt off, and ripped his pants up too his hips. Plowed feilds are harsh. Any ways he air lifted out with a broken back, and a very bad cut on his tongue. He just got out of the hospital and is now wearing something that looks like a turtle shell on his back. He will be fine in a month or so, but the mxz will be buried this weekend . Oh well, time to finish my mach 1 project.

yikes man, that sucks. I have been there for the broken back deal, spent 8 weeks in a plastic "Flack jacket" flat out SUCKED... Hope your friend gets better soon, at least it sounds like you have another sled to play with...

Where did this happen at I heard of something like this near my place happening.

sucks for the sled but thats replaceable your buddy is not so hopes for a fast recovery
