First of all, it's not a good idea to go off-roading alone: in case something turns wrong, it's better to have some one to help you or bring help if needed. Going in a large group is also bad, because everyone is trying to keep up with the rest and over difficult portions people get stuck. Off-road fun is best in small groups, but this doesn't necessarily mean the going can't get tough. Just watch the movie..
It is of course, nice to tape your successful slope tackling, but keeping the guys still to run up the hill informed as of what's going on in front of them. That is because running full-throttle up the hill and directly into one of your mates stuck or already fallen, is not funny at all.
And in some cases “not funny”can mean a bad fall, bike flipping down the hill and all. Luckily the R1200GS rider was unscathed, and so was the bike, save for some inherent bent crashbars.
Watching how nasty the bike rolled down, it's really wonderful hearing that the rider is ok; we've seen people getting hurt badly in much softer scenarios.
