Scenario...Rollover what do you do

This exact situation is what pushed me into organized racing as the only safe place to drive fast. I had one of these exact situations but my oncoming was three bike riders in the sand wash between the end of Golden Spike and the cliff road. When you put my buggy totally sideways in that road you can take all three bike riders out in one shot. I wasn't driving that fast but fast enough to make it look ugly, they were riding three wide across the entire road, had they been in single file or even on the correct side of the road it would have been a simple drive by situation. You can't control the other people and we all need to (I can't believe it's me saying this) slow down to make them safer.
Completely agree, I also forgot to add I told my sister to sit on her hands.

I wasn't going that fast or that slow either. Was just a freak situation that could have been a lot worse. I should have known better knowing it was a popular road... Usually when I do stupid stuff like this I know I'm the only one around.
 
Pretty much everything is covered here. Drive to the end but don't be dumb and make it worse. Let your gear do the work instead of trying to catch yourself in any way. Be using your gear, like shoulder harness. Shut off the engine and put it in park. Think about how to get out before you undo belts and talk to your buddy about it. Realize it's probably not too big a deal but you can make it worse so calm down. Then all the other stuff mentioned here.

Probably the biggest thing is just keep your head. Your prized toy is probably not hurt that bad and even if it is, it's just a thing and right after you trash it is not the time to cry. You really can make it worse by making wrong moves and wrong moves are easy to make when your head's not straight. There can (will) be a lot of adrenaline flowing so take a couple deep breaths and slow down.
