[QUOTE="user 22230, post: 643824, member: 22230"] Yeah if it's still water as long as I know what's underneath I'll go bonnet deep, if it's flowing whole different world. People just under estimate the weight of water unfortunately. Before the purists jump in better add that is in a vehicle fitted with snorkel, diff breathers and know how to set a bow wave and keep it. ;) Top of stupid list was a bloke on Fraser with two kids in back seat in a vehicle that probably shouldn't have been there, drove in to a water hole deep enough to be half way up his doors and then stalled. No biggy as plenty of vehicles around to snatch him out. Whole new complication when he then opened his door and instantly put the water level inside the vehicle at the head height of the two small children strapped in the back seat. :rolleyes: The scary reality is, that if not for the actions of others around at the time his two children would have died. Stupid is as stupid does. [/QUOTE]
