Seriously! There ain't no friggin' way one man or even two are going to stop the damn thing going down the mountain!
The thing is probably toast. Even if it's repairable, you'll spend a fair bit of time in the shop putting it all back together. No matter how you slice it, race day has come to a close for these guys.
Now, you are already lucky enough to wind up in one piece after a fall like that. Why press your luck a second time? If you get in front of that thing it can easily crush you to death if not break your arms and legs. Why not just let the thing come to a rest naturally? You're probably not going to be able to do anything about it.
In fact, the thing mostly did come to a stop by itself. The second guy appeared at the last minute and he happened to be there to right the snow machine, just as it came to a stop but I do not think he really stopped it.
If it was me... I would never be stupid enough to try a stunt like that in the first place but... If it was me, I'd be saying, "Houston, we have a problem!" then that would be that. I would just wait where I was, rest up from the fall (slide?) and let the machine go where it may... any place where I am NOT. Then, when I am sure that me and my rider are all right, I'd go down and survey the damage... and probably laugh like hell!
Morons! Only a Frenchie would do something so stupid!
(BTW: If they really are French, it wouldn't be a 500 lb. hunk of metal. It would be a 226.79 kg. gros morceau d'acier.)
