That pic is from 2006 ISTR ...about the same time as the Desert Strom event but a different group. They did recover it OK though it had to be a million to one shot to land on your nose and stay there after cresting a dune 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Does the guy holding the front really expect to stop it from falling if it went over Club N.E.R.D.s

Of course the guy seemingly holding this up would have no physical affect if things went south, but he is proving the Driver with a level of confidence and assurace that stops him opening the door and bailing out, and that may well significantly affect what is obviousy a real teetering on the very edge of absolute balance situation.
He may well not have pushed or pulled this vehicle back to normality, but he may well have made all the difference otherwise.
Great find and pictures though

That's a great pic! I wonder how no air-bags came off? Are they deactivated during such challenges?
