That video was great. I've been on offroad development trips. This type of failure is the most common one on 4x4 offroad vehicles. But capturing a failure with such clarity doesn't happen often. I bet GM engineers will be interested in it -- not that there's much they can do about it. In fact, I'll keep this video for my work. Thanks Ru!

BTW, as much as I hate the H2, neither of these problems are the vehicle's fault. The driver/spotter in the video should have picked a better route. H1 will probably be the only vehicle that can survive this, but the extra weight it has to put on for things like this makes it simply ridiculous for consumers -- not that H2 isn't ridiculous already.

Also, I doubt if you can find an SUV with enough ground clearance to climb out after 2 feet of snow is dumped on it. And contrary to popular belief, spinning the wheels could only hurt when standing still by digging deeper, which the driver did.

Enough said. I don't want to defend the H2 too much. Image. Image...
