How many people have fallen out of your jeep?
Not sure if this has been discussed but this past weekend a few friends and I went wheeling. At first just one person fell out of the jeep and it was your classic case of he completely forgot to do the leap / hop out of the jeep, or to stand on the sliders. Instead he just stepped out into oblivion and ended up on his back laughing.
Then it happened to another guy as we were parked on an incline but this time there was snow under us so I could relate. Because last year I FELL OUT OF MY OWN JEEP AND ENDED UP UNDERNEATH IT!!
It was straddling a pretty deep valley and as I went to put my foot down I slipped and turned and ended up seeing the underside of my jeep.
So how many others have either fell out themselves or had someone just disappear after stepping out?

Happened to at least two passengers, and to me, too... most recently, I went to step out of the Jeep and planted my foot on a patch of half-frozen mud with my heel... foot went out from under me, and I slid down. It was good for a laugh, at least!

not so funny story.
i work at a hospital and one night we had a trauma... a guy and girl were drunk and hauling ass around in their jeep. the girl took a turn too quick and the dude went flying out the side... the girl kept driving.

I Did the Opposite.
Never have fallen out, but I fell into my Jeep once. The doors were off so I was attempting to hop in. I put one foot on the side steps and one hand on the roll bar and I slide into the driver's seat all cool-like.
Unfortunately I had replaced those steps with the rock rails the week before. My foot had nothing to land on and I fell right in!

The very first time I drove my jeep after installing my lift and 35's (shakedown run) I pulled back into the driveway, and fell flat on my face with one of my shoes in the window opening and other by the seat. I couldn't help but laugh cause my buddy even told me to watch out.
Another time I was coming around a turn, while doorless and topless, and did a curb check (not used to the 35's width) and almost flung myself out the drivers side door. I came around the turn, my left hand holding on to the roll bar, right hand on the left side of the steering wheel with my head and body headed torwards oncoming. needless to say at the last minute I was able to pull myself in. But I think the lady shit herself when sh saw me coming around the bend.
