    Ha that is such an Italian way to park. Ben there done that in a campervan.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    As soon as your are goin backwards slam reverse and you should be able to steer,still sliding punch the throttle until goin in the right direction and let off again.
    It is scary heading off downhill backward all of a sudden but if you can keep your cool reverse and even throttle is your best bet.
    been there a few times.
    Know exactly what you mean with the slow mo.
    years ago when I rolled my Austin a30 two door as it rolled(no seat belts but indicator arms) I had the thought not to put my hand on the window and managed to get the b pillar and save my arm and head.

    I had no time to try get it reverse as it didn't stay on the ridge for very long lol when you slam reverse do try keep you foot of the clutch. Some 1 said when you start sliding backwards turn it off put it in reverse with out touching any thing then restart & you be in revers but haven't had a happen in a ute again yet had it with the four wheeler a few times but they easy to get back under control

    Reminds me of a story of a large diesel who started sliding back down a slope, stalled it and when it restarted he gunned it......without realizing it had bump started and now the engine was running in reverse! and he promptly went flying off the bank at full throttle!

    Cruising towards Kunanurra at 100 km,BANG,the a resend of the cruiser drops,the wife looks at mesomething broke.coilwrite airbag blown.had to let the other side down so now the caravan hitch is almost dragging and the front of the truck is ready for a moon shot.
    Moved all the gear from the truck and the boot of the van into the van over and behind the tandem,leveled things out a bit.
    New bags have to come from Darwin and it's a pubic holiday there Monday.Still,can drive round without the van so sightseeing

    You were shooting near the tunnel last weekend @Gibo . They dug it down a number of years ago but the clearances still aren't there.

    Apparently tunnels curve at the top
