Worst nightmare.  

How lucky were they that the vehicle flipped back onto it's wheels.  Old mate in the tinnie is a hero.

Being washed down a river in a vehicle is bad enough.  To end up upside down worse again.

Unbelievable!!

Some people think their 4wd's are indestructible and can do anything.  It was quite obvious that the current was flowing very srongly!

I think they should be counting their lucky stars.

I can't believe the idiocy of some people. To endanger the lives of the passengers in that way is nothing short of criminal.  >:(

They are darn lucky nobody was seriously injured. I hope the kids are over the nightmares by now.  :'(

This is another of life's lessons people who see this clip will hopefully heed.  ???

Don't argue with idiots.  They drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.

Very cool operator in the tinny - it could easily have been another Darwin award....(it counts if you take your offspring out of the gene pool with you!) Someone needs to sell that guy a Volvo.

Holy crap! It seemed like he had no idea at all, wasn't even on the high side of the crossing, not that it would have helped.

It was good to see they all got out safely.
