Moon tower party

So the other night we took some trucks and four-wheeled them up behind base to the top of the ridge where they have some radio towers, the moon towers. We had a good little party up there with a few brews and checked out the sunset. Everything was going just fine until the very end. We drove back down to base but to miss driving on the main road one of the trucks decided to try and find the back way into the camp area, which does exist. The problem was that the lead truck was going pretty fast and it was night time. He ended up hitting a massive boulder with his front right tyre and bouncing the truck over the boulder and beaching it. There were three people in the cab who got bounced around pretty well but also three people riding in the bed of the truck. Two of them got lauunched out of the truck about twenty feet while the third some how managed to stay in. Fortunately, a bashed up hip for one and a possibly broken hand for the other were the only reall injuries sustained. So the rim was bent with a flat tyre and the step bar was also bent where it was resting on the boulder. We went into full recovery mode and got the rescue party out. A high-lift jack got the truck up, we switched out the tyre for the spare and managed to drive the truck off the rock. Pretty good for a bunch of people who had been partying all night. After a more detailed inspection, the truck actually survived without too much wrong. Just a new rim and control arm was all that was really needed, about $200 bucks of work. Check out the pictures and see if you think that boulder would have caused more damage.
