I've heard of a couple, but none recently. I remember another was in a RZR up on one of the big, steep dunes. It was at night and the occupants weren't wearing seat belts. It's really sad to hear about all of these accidents. While searching the forum for an incident to show 702sandman, I came across pretty much every fatality over the last few years. Not a good read in any thread. The one common denominator was inexperience or lack/use of safety equipment. It got me thinking. I wish we could somehow reach out to or educate those who know nothing about Dumont. You know, those who never read this website or have any experienced friends to explain the basics about duning to them. Yes, we all think this should be common sense, but sometimes people get so excited about something so new and awesome they tend to overlook things, They have no idea you can't just pin it over a dune and land in the "soft, fluffy sand" and everything will be alright. I don't know. I have no solution. I just wish we could help the noobs that often lose their lives to something that is so easily avoidable.

Maybe warning signs at the entrance. Like u said Pete it sounds like anybody should know but simple basics we all know. Don't crest a dune at full speed head on. How to transition a dune. What to do and which way to turn if your going to transition but see someone on the other side (turn out not in) etc etc. If it saved ONE life. It'd be worth it.

Yeah it looks like it is sold. I will know tomorrow but Mike's idea of putting it in SLC craigslist was the key. Folks from Twin Falls Idaho are driving down to Cedar City on Monday to meet me. I just have to verify bank transfer went through. It sold for list, makes me feel like I listed it lower than I should have but I think they will put it to good use and I get to pay the tax man and not remove funds from my investments. So it's a win win. Thanks again Mike for the head's up on Salt lake City as the place to sell them. Terry
