Well, back in august or september, a bunch of us were in West Virginia. Me and my 2 friends were playin around on these trails, and I found a hill climb, which I of course decided to climb. We'll I'm about 3/4 of the way up, and do to the slipary mud, and the z400's low ground clearance, I got stopped on a rut, and then proceeded to roll backwards down the hill climb, of course, as I look back, I probably could have stopped the quad, but at the time I didn't want to hit the rear brake in case I would flib over backwards. So I started flyin down the hill backwards, go about 15 ft like that, then the front wheels hit a rock, turn to the right, and the whole quad flips over sideways, lands on top of me, then rolls another time or 2. Fortunately it landed on all 4 wheels sideways and didn't copntinue the rest of the way down the hill into a crick. as for me...I didn't break anything, but coujld barely walk for the rest of the day, and into the next day. My hip is still somewhat screwed up, and hurst occasionaly, but fortuanetly I didn't get too busted up. The only damage the Z recieved was a broken plastic clip, and the handlebars bent, but she was still in good enough condition to finish off the trip.

A similar thing happened to me once. The main difference is after the ATV flipped twice, it landed on all four wheels facing down hill. The ATV push-started itself back to life, head light and all, and drove itself into a tree.
