Annoymouse Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 It’s fairly steep there, it wouldn’t take a lot of speed to keep the momentum up, that’s assuming it’s not rolled down that far, what caused them to veer off the mountain in the first place is anyone’s guess and we will most likely never know.

May have been neither. Could have been a blow out. Could have been a fatal heart attack (which actually happened here not so long ago). This sort of speculation and blame game reminds me of when that cretin SultanofSheight jumped the gun accusing a driver on Lezayre Road in Ramsey (where someone was knocked down and killed late at night)of being at fault without knowing any facts at all.

The car doesn't, from that photo at least, appeared to have rolled significantly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really seen any speculation or blame yet. It's in the public domain and we're allowed to comment. What would you allow people to say before you start chucking the cretin word into your post ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in my example, clearly stating what that cretin did say was the act of a cretin. Lot of assumptions made about car accidents. Especially up the Mountain.

That was my first thought and once it’s left the road you aren’t getting it stopped on dirt/grass, steering sharply/jamming on the brakes is only more likely to cause it to roll. Nice little challenge for whoever has the police contracts now, that will take some winching up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Flint Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 It’s surprising how far down stuff travels. Depends what it hits on the way down. Hard bits of earth/ rock tend to project them even further. The recovery operation is the impressive bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog's Dangly Bits Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Hopefully the occupant(s) was ok. On the plus side at least the police seem to have stopped tweeting about running out of talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
