What goes up must come down, it's a basic law of physics. However, when it comes to riding up the hill, it's so much better that one just doesn't come back to the ground using the same way for climbing... because this usually mean the bike, or in this case, the ATV will come tumbling down upon the rider.
Unfortunately, the rider in this video was taught a very important lesson for ATV hill-climbing: when reaching a halt on loose ground, it's much better to use the front brakes to slowly slide down the slope, than trying to stop the rearwards movement with the rear brakes.
Using the rear brakes in such a situation will indeed provide a much more powerful stopping force, but it will also make the ATV flip over much easier... which is exactly what happened this time.
Given the fact that we're dealing with a heavy Yamaha Raptor 700, we can only hope the guy made it with a good scare and minor injuries, only.
