I hate to hear that. Here's a link to the story: 74-year-old Alaska man dies when ATV overturns in Delta River | Alaska News | newsminer.com
I was surprised, for some reason, to read that he was 74. Do you think when they said he was trapped in the cab that it was just a soft top and not a ROPS? In that case perhaps it was fine to be using on calm water. My question is, what's the Delta River like in that area? -
The river is very swift and unseasonably high this year as we had a very rainy summer right into the fall. I have crossed it in my 6x6 Conquest and it was quite a ride. I have a new 750 hdi but I wouldn't try it this year. The water never warms up in this neck of the woods and I always wear a life jacket if the water is moving.Comment
