Four-Wheeler Fail, Times Three

Just because your buddy makes it across the half-frozen river, doesn't necessarily mean you will.

What's a guy to do when he needs to get to the other side of a half-frozen river? For these four adventurous ATVers, hitting the throttle and given'r seemed like the right thing to do. Ahh, boys and their toys.

As you're about to see, the first guy crosses this sketchy stream successfully. What comes next is a series of four-wheeler fails of varying degrees. What is it they say about a captain going down with their ship?

Here's the funny footage. You'll hear that the first guy to dry land found the whole experience quite humorous:

Notice how the first guy to go through kind of just accepted the fact without much in the way of fanfare? Too funny.

We're guessing the machines weren't too hard to retrieve. Whether they start up again is another question entirely. They'll definitely take some drying out.

Life in the great outdoors. You've got to love it.
