While I think that term is WAY over used, it's probably appropriate here.
Totally tongue in cheek

So......what's your analysis....after the fact?

Find a better place to turn around.

I assume you got away with just a few bruises?

Quite a few when all added up....some still today.

Would using only the rear brake have prevented a tip-over? Maybe but I doubt it.

Not a chance...very steep to the right.

Probably good that you didn't fight any harder to hold it up; that's sometimes how legs are broken.

The picture you see is the force raising me up..only to slam me down.

Could be a good learning/teaching moment here.......I'm all ears.
