People underestimate soft ground conditions a lot. Even on a wet lawn you can sink in quickly and with bad tires you're stuck in no time haha.

Like that guy in England who drove his car off a cliff because the GPS said it was a road.

Wow.

Sand and gravel is used all the time for vehicle traps.

How can someone not know?

Common sense > douche I guess.

Regardless, i dont think any 4x4 would make it out of that. I know of a Hummer (the old style real hummer) that did something similar, it was a write off.
