UTV Training Accident 2015

On June 12, 2015, two Idaho BLM fire and aviation employees participating in a training session for UTV and ATV operation were involved in an accident involving a UTV. The accident occurred when they crested a hill on the trail and on the other side of the hill they struck a rock, causing the UTV to become airborne. Coming down on its front bumper on the downhill slope caused the UTV to roll end over end onto its top and then back over onto its wheels, where it came to rest. The trainees then checked each other to ensure they were not injured, then got out of the UTV and inspected the damage. The roof, roll bar, bed, tail gate, bumper, and tail lights had incurred damage.
