Safe not safe and lesson learned.
A lesson learned. Friday I was parked on the side of the road with my Polaris Ranger 1000 with tracks. I saw my neighbor coming down the road, waved and climbed up the ladder a few feet away. Seconds later he had fallen asleep in his truck and hit my sidexside. Knocking it into the tree infront of it. Inches from the ladder I was on. His truck did a 180 and rolled over an embankment. Happily nobody was hurt, but dam was it a close call.
Be safe out there and think ahead. Catastrophe can come in a blink of an eye.
