Hi there!
Well here is another one for tonight...
Location; Near Nowra NSW 1998
Incident; Early in the morning while reversing up a very steep road in 1st gear 4x4 the Mog encounted a slippery mossy patch on the road and slid sideways over the edge 
Driver; Me... 
The Mog, which was near new & fitted with a hyd crane. Fortunatly it was unloaded at the time and came to rest at a rather uncomfortable angle. After bailing out & regaining my composure I then worked out how I was going to get out of this situation with out haveing to call for RAEME recovery.
So after clearing my exit route and deploying the crane to act as an outrigger I was able to gingerly drive the truck out... to much relief! 
Phil...
