Maruti Jimny has to be among the most potent lightweight off-roading SUVs on sale in India.
In this latest incident, a Maruti Jimny rolls over multiple times during an off-roading scenario. Jimny is the go-to SUV for a whole bunch of off-roading enthusiasts. It has a rich legacy of over 50 years in the international market. However, recognizing how much the Indian consumers value practicality, it is the first time in its history that the Jimny is available in a 5-door iteration. As a result, passengers get more space on the inside without compromising too much on the adventurous capabilities. For now, let us take a look at the specifics of this latest case.
Maruti Jimny Rolls Over Multiple Times
The details of this incident emerge from RVS Adventures on YouTube. The visuals capture the incident live. A Jimny owner begins to drive on a steep downward slope. I realize that the driver pressed the accelerator slightly hard which caused the SUV to lose traction. Unable to control the momentum, it toppled over. Since the slope was steep, it rolled over multiple times before coming to a halt. It also appears like the driver had pressed the accelerator as soon as the SUV landed on its feet. As a result, it came up after the crash.
The video clip shows people running towards the car. They are professionals who are organizing this event. They bring out the driver of the SUV and hand him a bottle of water. It is quite impressive to see that the driver is in perfect condition. He is talking to everyone around. Since he was wearing the seatbelt, he didn’t get thrown around during the impact. Looking at the condition of the Jimny, the roof and side section have sustained damage. The front left tyre has also burst. But apart from that, the Jimny is able to drive normally.
Our View
This is a perfect case to showcase just how dangerous off-roading adventures can become. This is particularly true if you have no prior experience. That is why it is always a great idea to perform such activities with a group of experienced personnel. They can guide and help you in all situations. Make sure to never imitate what people do on YouTube. You must take precautions while doing such acts independently. Note that even though cars like the Jimny are capable of traversing across such obstacles, it doesn’t mean that you put it in such hardcore surroundings without any reason. Let us pledge to be responsible drivers.
