I was involved in search, rescue, recovery for 30 years…I’m 71 and can’t do it any longer. Props to your organization and channel Heavy D! You do it right and it’s very good to see you in action…getting it done! Right on! A class act in all respects! Prayers for the family and friends of the person who lost their life…I pray the family will be comforted and find closure thru their grief knowing so many cared and still care! May God continue to bless you and your efforts to help others! Righteous work!
Ive been saying for a while that these UTVs are almost as dangerous as three wheelers. people have too much confidence in them when they drive them. honestly, it sucks to say but there should be a special license requirement to buy and drive these. even still, innocent riders can get injured with a poor drivers decisions. Poor girl. May peace be with you all.
@@drywater3559 yeah I like there should be a special license for everything that we operate but it only comes into play after some kind of major catastrophe probably why it's mostly outside the private sector but that would mean the government would have to actually care about its constituents instead of just pretending rabbit hole all the way to hell
@@jnorth568here in Sweden we have a special license for snow mobile, jetski and atv/utv. You can drive a atv on roads but then it must be restricted to 20hp, if not and they stop you they can take all your license away.
@kempaswe4022 see that sound smart I think we have too many freedoms here in America because people like to do what they want unfortunately sometimes the results are not good... much love from New Mexico
Was involved in a plane crash recovery with four fatalities back in the seventies. The carnage and images forever imprinted in my brain. Never did another. God bless you guys and keep you safe.
I was a Georgia State Patrol Trooper for 30 years. Nothing like having a good wrecker recovery team. I enjoy your videos. You will be rewarded ten folds for your kindness and generosity. May God keep you and your amazing employees safe.
with all the resources you guys have, could you not get yankem ropes to build you some 500 ft ropes, eliminate the cable, that would make life much easier for everybody.
@@kevanalbrecht4085that's not feasible because if the distance it has to be pulled. Can't put yankems on a winch, so to pull it up you would have to hook it to a truck and drive 1200 ft. Which there probably isn't space for.
@@MH-ce6mxso what. So are firefighters but people still call them heroes..... I'm sure he could be doing jobs that pay ALOT more, but he chooses ones that make a difference.
It's so sad how the one person who was buckled up, the ONE person who was supposed to be the safest of them all, would be the only one who died. It truly is a shame. Rip to that woman. 🕊
Makes you wonder if they were wearing a helmet, because if they had a seatbelt on and that roll cage did hold. Then only thing I can think of is brunt force trauma to the head. A Helmet would have stopped most of that. But I dunno. Seatbelt or not, helmet is a must
For this exact reason, every time my friends and I have gone off road, we do not wear seatbelts. In some cases it is better and safer to get sent flying out of the vehicle. One of my old neighbors had a very similar accident in a jeep, except everyone survived, though badly injured, but nothing life altering. The one guy who was wearing a seatbelt was the only one to go down the cliff side and end up smashed into a tree.
@@chrismiester1214 I mean if you get in a wreck that’s bad enough it might not matter either way. I’m not saying you’d survive, just maybe have a slightly higher chance of survival.
The vehicle tumbled violently almost a quarter mile. The body can’t handle that many tumbles even if she had a helmet on it most likely would have not been survivable.
I did towing and recovery for the first 4 years of my 38 year trucking career, Heavy D you pulled off an epic recovery, job well done for Heavy D and the crew. For the young lady who passed, just remember this, she passed away doing what she loved to do with friends and family out in the beautiful country side. I love four wheelin, it can be a bit of a dangerous hobby, I’d rather die doing that then in a hospital or rest home. Rest in peace young lady and I’ll be saying a nice prayer for her friends and family.
@@l.ronhubbard5445 The term "poignant" refers to something that deeply affects the emotions, often in a somewhat sad or melancholic way.

Poignant moments or experiences are those that leave a lasting emotional impact, stirring up feelings that are often a mix of sadness, nostalgia, and deep appreciation.
Lost a life long buddy in a similar manner. Patrick Stalder. The only person I know that has never said anything bad about anyone, which really says something about a persons character. He was a counselor for developmentally disabled people. A true Angel amongst us. I feel this one especially. Condolences truly.
When your team help someone who’s lost someone because of an accident, you come together like no other team I’ve seen. My heart goes out to this ladies family. Tragic.
I feel so bad for her loss. She did everything right and still lost the fight. I hope her family knows how hard she fought and how respectful you and your crew were, and how much all of us care.
I have said this on your channel many times. And still can not say it enough. What you and your team do, to help others is so unmatchable. You and your team have the very biggest of hearts ever. Wish I knew you guys in person.
I absolutely love to see all these guys using not only their financial wealth but all their wealth of knowledge to help so many people they don't even know. Hard work and big hearts! The most heart string pulling recoveries I've yet to watch was when an elderly couple set out on a road trip in their new RV (pulling their car) but took a wrong turn and were stuck way so far out there. Unhooked the car to get help but the little car didn't get them far. They lived out of the car for many days which resulted in the old man passing the day before they were found. During the recovery they found her walker beside the car because she was trying to collect water (I think using a mask as a cup). They didn't realize how close they actually were to their RV that had food/drinks and proper shelter. The RV really needed to be recovered as the lady wasn't able to fly once released from hospital and needed it to get home. Such a sad story and one I won't forget. Such wonderful big hearted folks ❤
So sorry for that daughter's loss. Hope she is surrounded with love and support. Dave, thank you for your continued service to help those in need. You and your team are fantastic. Really impressed with those that helped. RIP 😢
Heavy D, Crew, friends, lend me your ear. Thank you for this kind of content showing you guys doing crazy recoveries in difficult spots like this to help a family get some closure. It warms the heart knowing that there are people like you and your crew out there to do this. Mad love guys, be safe
Heavy D and team thank you for your hard work and dedication on this recovery, I know it was much different than most recoveries that you all typically do. With that being said thank you for the compassion you showed during this interaction. It was handled with sympathy and professionalism. I love the change in the way your videos are headed. We need many more men like you and Doug Bishop in the world. So proud of you.
I have to say thank you to the entire team for the reverence used in this recovery and the making of this video. The sunset was a beautiful addition. Heads down, focusing on task at hand with a somber mood. It will be difficult enough for the family to watch but you did it in a beautiful way. Condolences to her family. 🙏🏽
Kudos to you for stepping up in such a large way on what can only be described as an EPIC effort for this recovery. It’s more than just retrieving the machine, it’s helping the survivors, their family and friends recover from their loss. My hats off to you and your crew. I hope this helps heal. Thoughts and prayers from Ontario Canada.
Your editing team is putting out some amazing work this year. Those short burst of time lapses and the filming and even the background music draws you in and makes you feel the emotional side of this upload........good job to everyone involved in the recovery and those behind the scenes working just as hard. Also sounds like if you ever got a job you need a bunch of extra hands to get it done that you found the perfect crew today........just saying 😉
Y'all are a group of solid individuals and my heart goes out to everyone who lost this woman. Thank you for being the ones this man could turn to for help in his time of need. Thank you to everyone subscribed to them who like and share these videos, the ones who donate, and all the support you guys give these ones to keep them going! To everyone on camera and behind the scenes; y'all are the real MVPs🤟🏼
Survivors guilt is something no one should have to live through. I just want to hug that man. Running down a cliffside after your girl in the pitch black.. I hope she is resting peacefully in those beautiful mountains. Props to all the people involved on the vehicle rescue, I'm sure it meant a lot to the family seeing so many people come together when they needed them.
Well, there is something to be said for knowing what you're doing before practically killing all your passengers, and actually killing one of them. If you don't know what you are doing, people, don't take passengers off roading.
@@-108-yeah full machine of passengers super long 4 seater 64” wide xp aren’t the most stable crawlers stock, pitch black out they said up the quite rocky and not ridge of a mountain with over 1200ft drop down the side. The key is doing this in the dark is hard one to not judge but not much can be done now other than learning. People need to learn to not just lean on the capabilities of these machines is the common theme
That was truly a bittersweet recovery. May God bless the daughter, boyfriend, and all family and friends of the woman who passed away, and wrap them all in loving arms of comfort. Thank you Heavy D, Diesel Dave and crew for helping these grieving souls out by doing this recovery. ❤️🙏
Heart goes out to her and her family and friends and all you guys for doing what's right makes my soul feel good seeing everyone coming together in this sad situation. ❤️
My heart is breaking for the lady, her boyfriend, and her daughter. A fun day and ends in tragedy. My condolences to her family and friends. Thank you HeavyD to you and your awesome crew for being the caring, giving people you are.
@@jacobpoucher < thinks it's a laughing matter when someone is offering condolences for a life lost .. It doesn't matter if you don't think that it's possible to drive off this if not being reckless , it doesn't matter how many years of off roading you have ... what does matter is that you chose @lornahardin4563 condolences comment to laugh at .. poor form
@@donbeary6394you would never have read it (my comment) if it wasn't in a top, liked comment as this one. Have you read any of the other comments saying there was no fatality/obituary at all and that it's all for views? I Googled the name myself and there is no obituary check it out for yourself. Thanks for reading my comments I am right most of the time
You guys are Awesome! Im in the towing & recovery business and i love it! We have done some crazy revoveries but nothing as wild as that. Prayers to her family and may God Bless Ya'll!!
Deepest condolences to boyfriend, daughter mentioned in the video and all the family and friends. Giving all my respect to Dave and his crew as well as everybody who helped in this touching situation. What you guys do for people is amazing. Not gonna lie, my throat got tight watching this.
You are an amazing person I have seen countless recovery videos and your group are the only ones giving of time and resources. That is a great thing God bless your family for all the lives you have touched.
My thoughts & prayers go out to the family & friends of the woman who died in the crash. Dave, you & your crew are amazing people who help others recover stuff & put some closure to their ordeal. Great job guys, you're heroes on my book
Beautifully filmed. Makes people who aren’t necessarily interested in the career, such as myself, still be interested to learn about it. That says a lot about your ability to reach a wider audience! Great recovery guys
Dave and family are just legends, always there to help out wheneva and whoever it is that's in trouble or in need. Need more people like you in the world that for sure!!!
Thank you guys as that means so much to see all hands on board and getting the vehicle out of there as it means so much. Angels every one of you. RIP to family and friends.
My condolences to the family and friends. 😢 Thank you, Dave and all your crew. Your work is so important. I had a really hard time watching past the tears. I can't imagine what the daughter is going through, but at least she knows you guys have her back!
I would personally just like to thank you for what all you guys do for total strangers to help. In this world, this is more rare than ever. Thank you so much!😅❤
I also see people saying this…but is it truly as rare as you are saying it is? We can’t all do what these guys do but I don’t see enough of the population on a daily basis to say that and I don’t think you do either. Keep faith in humanity…lots of people help others when they can.
@@TheOnlyKontrolmy personal experience is different. At first: the poorer a country is, the more helpfully the people are. At second: the worst experience I got was in the USA. Everyone thinks only about getting "rich". In the rural areas it was good, there are a few downsides too... The worst was in the staates of the gulf area. Never ever I want to stay there again. I did work in more country than most of the viewers here for shure. And the US is not a country with people in altruism. In Mexico I help every time I did need some. Most of the "Americans" think about Mexicans as "animals", not worth to think about. I don't understand why people want to move to the staates, instead of making their country more worth to live in. The people are already worth to stay there
They didn't do this out of the good of their heart. If they did, they wouldn't have filmed it and clickbaited the shit out of the title. They would have done it quietly. They did it for the money. RUclips revenue on these videos, and the bigger the sob story the better, is HUGE. They are 100% profiting from tragic death. Don't be fooled.
@@1one3_RacingYour comment is infuriating and your ignorance is obvious. The video revenue is what enables him to do such recoveries. You believe they should do it all from their heart and pockets? He had a lot of expense in this recovery - 8.5-9 hours of manpower, fuel for the vehicles, the wrecker engine running all day to power the PTO winches, broken ropes and damaged equipment plus the cost of acquiring and maintaining the vehicles and equipment. I imagine his expenses exceeded the little revenue he may get from RUclips. A typical commercial wrecker service or copter would have charged thousands for such a recovery. You have no way of knowing where his heart is yet you throw out such nasty accusations and attacks on his character. It says a lot about your character.
Though circumstances were vastly different, I lost my GF about a year ago, so I highly sympathize with the poor guy. It looks like he has a damn good support network of friends to help him though this. And good on ya'll for helping them recover the RZR and help bring closure. You guys rock!
This happened in our forest and it's too bad someone lost their life. I can only hope people stay in trails meant for their vehicles. 😢. Huge thanks for getting it out of there for them. I work for this forest with the forest service and you guys do amazing work.
So this trail wasn't meant for side by sides? I'm just curious what it was meant for, as in my 25 years of off-road experience, side by sides are usually more capable in almost every situation than any other vehicle with maybe the exception of professional rock crawler buggies in extreme rock climbing events.
it looks like you can make it on a side by side til you get on the ridge then it gets nasty over some big rocks and then after that it gets super rocky and steep and turns to single track
I just want to thank you guys for doing the hardest recoveries for free. You could charge just like others would but you take your blessings and bless others with it in their most difficult & vulnerable time. ❤ ❤
Such a horrible event to happen but having your team able to help with the tragedy. Huge props to you and the team. Yall are doing things I wish I had the capability of doing to help.
My deepest condolences to the family and friends, I can't imagine the loss you are going through of someone gone so soon. It's especially hard when you do everything "safe" by wearing a seatbelt, and that ends up being the worst option.
Dave, This is where you and the team shines! And your video crew certainly captured God’s warming hands around everyone on that mountain at the end. Thanks for sharing the journey.
This was amazing. Awesome, that you helped them out. Sad situation, but such kindness in the way it was handled. Those friends broke my heart....they are just barely holding it together.
Dave, a big "Thank You" to you and your crew, for once again helping people who at this time have so much to deal with, as losing such a young lady is a lot to take-in. >>>My Condolences goes out to the family, as well as the boyfriend, and their friends. >>>You guy's are the best.
My heart just dropped listening to this. My greatest condolences to the family and friends. Guys please continue to help people. You are definitely very good at it and it shows
As a former first responder, I know how this can affect the those who responded. My condolences goes out to all involved. You guys do great work and do it safely.
Dave: Long time listener, first time caller... Loved you guys since the first episode on Discovery. Twice today you moved me to tears. this episode & the Pilot recovery. I live high in the Sierra's in Nevada, so I appreciate Ridge recoveries. Liked & subscribed.
It is always a pleasure to watch Heavy D and his crew work. You all do it with military plaining, team work and professionalism. After serving in the military it is nice to see the team work and get it done. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
These are the type of videos i fell in love with. These videos are why i stay and it shows your great character and how good of people you guys truly are. Thank you for all the help you give those in need. We need more people like yall in our world, especially these days!
Just recently i was involved in a near fatal crash i rolled my suv over multiple times and completely caved in the front end of my suv the seat belt i had on saved my life, pieces of the suv was all over the road, thank you guys for being the ones that can always be counted on
Glad yall could help, props to the guys that came and helped, i love yalls professionalism in the action of recovering the atv, i loved the truck as well that thing can make a feller drool, also id like to give my condolences to the family and friends
What an awful accident. Prayers for all who were involved and the families. Thank you Dave for your help with this challenging recovery. God's blessings to you Dave and your whole crew from Proctor Minnesota!
Before I get to the emotional part - HUGE shout out to the videographer(s) for the opening sequence with Alan getting the truck ready. The reflection shot.... amazing. Your video crew is as world class as the rest of the crew!
Truly, it was a sad situation. I am sorry for all who were impacted by this. I will hold the gentleman and the young lady's family up in my prayers. You really did an outstanding job in recovering the vehicle. I am so impressed by both your skills and your patience.
Prayers to the family! Dave, you provided an invaluable service to the family which will be a great help in their grieving process. Once again, great job! Multiple thumbs up!
First. Thoughts and prayers to the family that lost there loved one. 2nd job well done by the Heavy D and his crew. You all have the hearts of gold and to me are part of the Brotherhood of first responders. Thank you for your service to help others. Hopefully you all can help the 70 000 people trapped at the burningman currently
Thank you for your service to community. Wife was chopping onions so i had to wipe tears constanlty. So Glad to have found this channel. Continue to the awesome work
God Bless you guys for doing this for the family, especially the woman’s daughter, hopefully this helped bring her some closure and she can be on her path to healing from the tragic loss.
Kudos to all you guys involved in this difficult recovery. Prayers to the beloved, family, and friends of the woman who lost her life trying to enjoy nature. The rain falling down on you guys is just to let you guys know that even the powers in heaven also shed tears over this tragedy. God bless you all! Keep doing what you are doing! :)
Lol, they dont give a F. Just more money for them, and an opportunity to make a video to make even more money. God bless them for making lots of money, I guess.
Thank you, Dave, for your Sacred Service to this family in their time of need! There is no greater service to our fellow souls than being there for them in their times of need! I congratulate you! Stan Smith; Ozark, Missouri.
Thank you for helping my family retrieve this horrific accident and I give my appreciation to your whole team. I wish we got to meet you and your team.
Seeing the family standing on the top of the mountain hugging while you guys are working away is a chilling moment. Great work as always. Thanks for letting us be a part of this story
Major respect for HeavyD and crew. Thank you for the respectful way you handled this recovery. I feel terribly for all who were involved in this tragic accident - especially for the lady who lost her life, and for all of her family and friends. Prayers for you all, from Australia XX🙏
Loving your business model here SparksMotors. Theres not many people taking their income from youtube and throwing it into the community the way you are. Thanks boys! Your part of an elite group of people actually making others lives better in many facets. Keep it up; forever a fan of this channel.
Sometimes the aftermath from a tragedy can be just as hard, or even harder, to go through. At this point the brain kicks in asking all the "What ifs?" and the "Why didnt I?",, Etc. It was nice to have a team come together that was focused on the matter at hand. Everybody just filled a job that needed it and went forward. I could feel the respect everyone had for each other and for the recovery as a whole. Definitely next level of professionalism. Thanks HeavyDSparks for keeping it real. 🥰🥰🥰
props to dave and the crew. my heart dropped every time i would imagine what this guy went through the night of the incident, made me go hug my wife. my condolences to all parties
You’ve given this family a blessing in their closure of such a painful accident, there are no words enough to express how precious it is what you did. Thank you for sharing this with the world, hopefully it will increase people’s love and care for one another.

Your helping folks and seem to truly be into doing what's right and in the world we live in today where that's so seldom its good just knowing there's folks out there like y'all. Thank you!

Kudos to you for stepping up in such a large way on what can only be described as an EPIC effort for this recovery. It’s more than just retrieving the machine, it’s helping the survivors, their family and friends recover from their loss. My hats off to you and your crew. I hope this helps heal.
Thoughts and prayers from Ontario Canada.
Your editing team is putting out some amazing work this year. Those short burst of time lapses and the filming and even the background music draws you in and makes you feel the emotional side of this upload........good job to everyone involved in the recovery and those behind the scenes working just as hard. Also sounds like if you ever got a job you need a bunch of extra hands to get it done that you found the perfect crew today........just saying 😉
I was thinking that literally right at the beginning of the video. Freakin top notch.
So deeply sorry for the family and the young lady. Thanks Dave and team for all you do. May you remain safe and blessed. Love from the UK
Y'all are a group of solid individuals and my heart goes out to everyone who lost this woman. Thank you for being the ones this man could turn to for help in his time of need. Thank you to everyone subscribed to them who like and share these videos, the ones who donate, and all the support you guys give these ones to keep them going! To everyone on camera and behind the scenes; y'all are the real MVPs🤟🏼
Survivors guilt is something no one should have to live through. I just want to hug that man. Running down a cliffside after your girl in the pitch black.. I hope she is resting peacefully in those beautiful mountains. Props to all the people involved on the vehicle rescue, I'm sure it meant a lot to the family seeing so many people come together when they needed them.
Well, there is something to be said for knowing what you're doing before practically killing all your passengers, and actually killing one of them. If you don't know what you are doing, people, don't take passengers off roading.

The key is doing this in the dark is hard one to not judge but not much can be done now other than learning. People need to learn to not just lean on the capabilities of these machines is the common theme
@@ktmdevonIdiocy often has a heavy price, which is why people responsible for such need held accountable.

That was truly a bittersweet recovery. May God bless the daughter, boyfriend, and all family and friends of the woman who passed away, and wrap them all in loving arms of comfort.
Thank you Heavy D, Diesel Dave and crew for helping these grieving souls out by doing this recovery. ❤️🙏
Heart goes out to her and her family and friends and all you guys for doing what's right makes my soul feel good seeing everyone coming together in this sad situation. ❤️
Betul sekali itu namanya saling membantu sobat ku.
My heart is breaking for the lady, her boyfriend, and her daughter. A fun day and ends in tragedy. My condolences to her family and friends. Thank you HeavyD to you and your awesome crew for being the caring, giving people you are.
Lol I guarantee you the driver was being reckless how fast do you haveto be going to go off that hill.
@@jacobpoucher very appropriate use of lol there, buddy. driver may or may not have been reckless. it's offroading. it's usually a little stupid.
@@lulzywizard7576 been off reading for going on 15 years
.That's a reckless "accident"and a shame I can see it from a mile away.
@@jacobpoucher < thinks it's a laughing matter when someone is offering condolences for a life lost .. It doesn't matter if you don't think that it's possible to drive off this if not being reckless , it doesn't matter how many years of off roading you have ... what does matter is that you chose @lornahardin4563 condolences comment to laugh at .. poor form
@@donbeary6394you would never have read it (my comment) if it wasn't in a top, liked comment as this one. Have you read any of the other comments saying there was no fatality/obituary at all and that it's all for views? I Googled the name myself and there is no obituary check it out for yourself. Thanks for reading my comments I am right most of the time
you do so much for this community, thank you :)
He does it to get into your pockets. Don’t show too much love.
@@brianjacobs1241imagine that, a business trying to make money. You can still help your community while running a profitable company
@@brianjacobs1241 You need to leave.
You guys are Awesome! Im in the towing & recovery business and i love it! We have done some crazy revoveries but nothing as wild as that. Prayers to her family and may God Bless Ya'll!!
Your generosity and compassion to rescue these vehicles when people need you the most ,is the upmost amazing videos.Your whole team is amazing.
Deepest condolences to boyfriend, daughter mentioned in the video and all the family and friends.
Giving all my respect to Dave and his crew as well as everybody who helped in this touching situation. What you guys do for people is amazing.
Not gonna lie, my throat got tight watching this.
You are an amazing person I have seen countless recovery videos and your group are the only ones giving of time and resources. That is a great thing God bless your family for all the lives you have touched.
I’m a search and rescue diver near New Orleans. I understand. Y’all truly are doing God’s work. Mad respect.
how so? they just recovered a vehicle to get them youtube views for content
Gods work? God did it if you believe that stuff.
@@rasta77-x7ohahahaha....hohoho....hehehehehe there's always gotta be that one guy...😅😅😅😅😅😅
My thoughts & prayers go out to the family & friends of the woman who died in the crash. Dave, you & your crew are amazing people who help others recover stuff & put some closure to their ordeal. Great job guys, you're heroes on my book
Beautifully filmed. Makes people who aren’t necessarily interested in the career, such as myself, still be interested to learn about it. That says a lot about your ability to reach a wider audience! Great recovery guys
Dave and family are just legends, always there to help out wheneva and whoever it is that's in trouble or in need. Need more people like you in the world that for sure!!!
Thank you guys as that means so much to see all hands on board and getting the vehicle out of there as it means so much.
Angels every one of you. RIP to family and friends.
Respect to you all from Scotland! And my condolences to the daughter of this lady who passed and her partner.
My condolences to the family and friends. 😢 Thank you, Dave and all your crew. Your work is so important. I had a really hard time watching past the tears. I can't imagine what the daughter is going through, but at least she knows you guys have her back!
I would personally just like to thank you for what all you guys do for total strangers to help. In this world, this is more rare than ever. Thank you so much!😅❤
❤❤❤❤
I also see people saying this…but is it truly as rare as you are saying it is? We can’t all do what these guys do but I don’t see enough of the population on a daily basis to say that and I don’t think you do either. Keep faith in humanity…lots of people help others when they can.
@@TheOnlyKontrolmy personal experience is different.
At first: the poorer a country is, the more helpfully the people are.
At second: the worst experience I got was in the USA. Everyone thinks only about getting "rich". In the rural areas it was good, there are a few downsides too...
The worst was in the staates of the gulf area. Never ever I want to stay there again.
I did work in more country than most of the viewers here for shure. And the US is not a country with people in altruism. In Mexico I help every time I did need some. Most of the "Americans" think about Mexicans as "animals", not worth to think about. I don't understand why people want to move to the staates, instead of making their country more worth to live in. The people are already worth to stay there
They didn't do this out of the good of their heart. If they did, they wouldn't have filmed it and clickbaited the shit out of the title. They would have done it quietly. They did it for the money. RUclips revenue on these videos, and the bigger the sob story the better, is HUGE.
They are 100% profiting from tragic death. Don't be fooled.
@@1one3_RacingYour comment is infuriating and your ignorance is obvious. The video revenue is what enables him to do such recoveries. You believe they should do it all from their heart and pockets? He had a lot of expense in this recovery - 8.5-9 hours of manpower, fuel for the vehicles, the wrecker engine running all day to power the PTO winches, broken ropes and damaged equipment plus the cost of acquiring and maintaining the vehicles and equipment. I imagine his expenses exceeded the little revenue he may get from RUclips. A typical commercial wrecker service or copter would have charged thousands for such a recovery. You have no way of knowing where his heart is yet you throw out such nasty accusations and attacks on his character. It says a lot about your character.
Though circumstances were vastly different, I lost my GF about a year ago, so I highly sympathize with the poor guy. It looks like he has a damn good support network of friends to help him though this. And good on ya'll for helping them recover the RZR and help bring closure. You guys rock!
This happened in our forest and it's too bad someone lost their life. I can only hope people stay in trails meant for their vehicles. 😢. Huge thanks for getting it out of there for them. I work for this forest with the forest service and you guys do amazing work.
So this trail wasn't meant for side by sides? I'm just curious what it was meant for, as in my 25 years of off-road experience, side by sides are usually more capable in almost every situation than any other vehicle with maybe the exception of professional rock crawler buggies in extreme rock climbing events.
it looks like you can make it on a side by side til you get on the ridge then it gets nasty over some big rocks and then after that it gets super rocky and steep and turns to single track
@@Steven-gv1keI used to ride that trail every year at the end of the school year
Some trails are meant for hikers and bikers
It's meant for those old-school ATV's .. I think they're called horses.😉
I just want to thank you guys for doing the hardest recoveries for free. You could charge just like others would but you take your blessings and bless others with it in their most difficult & vulnerable time. ❤ ❤
Such a horrible event to happen but having your team able to help with the tragedy. Huge props to you and the team. Yall are doing things I wish I had the capability of doing to help.
My deepest condolences to the family and friends, I can't imagine the loss you are going through of someone gone so soon. It's especially hard when you do everything "safe" by wearing a seatbelt, and that ends up being the worst option.
Crazy to hear they were all wearing seat belts and ejected on the 3rd roll
you heard wrong @@TroubleHasFun
Need a helmet on if your buckled in
@@TroubleHasFunhe said the other 3 weren’t wearing the seatbelts she was the only one
@@Menentios69the boyfriend said he was wearing one but still got ejected
Dave, This is where you and the team shines! And your video crew certainly captured God’s warming hands around everyone on that mountain at the end. Thanks for sharing the journey.
This was amazing. Awesome, that you helped them out. Sad situation, but such kindness in the way it was handled. Those friends broke my heart....they are just barely holding it together.
Dave, a big "Thank You" to you and your crew, for once again helping people who at this time have so much to deal with, as losing such a young lady is a lot to take-in. >>>My Condolences goes out to the family, as well as the boyfriend, and their friends. >>>You guy's are the best.
My heart just dropped listening to this. My greatest condolences to the family and friends.
Guys please continue to help people. You are definitely very good at it and it shows
That was a sad one. Great job helping people and bringing closure for all the affected people.
As a former first responder, I know how this can affect the those who responded. My condolences goes out to all involved. You guys do great work and do it safely.
yeah sure, they get them views for recovering a vehicle and get that youtube money
@@Andy-gti You sound bitter, angry, and jealous. Get over yourself.
@@Andy-gtibrah even charities have running costs and pay people. R u dim
I appreciate that you guys are willing to go and do hard things to help other people, this is a great example to others.
Dave: Long time listener, first time caller... Loved you guys since the first episode on Discovery. Twice today you moved me to tears. this episode & the Pilot recovery. I live high in the Sierra's in Nevada, so I appreciate Ridge recoveries. Liked & subscribed.
It is always a pleasure to watch Heavy D and his crew work. You all do it with military plaining, team work and professionalism. After serving in the military it is nice to see the team work and get it done. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Thought and prayers to everyone involved. You guys truly are a blessing to so many strangers. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you to all those involved. It takes a lot of conviction and inner strength to help out on these type of projects.
These are the type of videos i fell in love with. These videos are why i stay and it shows your great character and how good of people you guys truly are. Thank you for all the help you give those in need. We need more people like yall in our world, especially these days!
Just recently i was involved in a near fatal crash i rolled my suv over multiple times and completely caved in the front end of my suv the seat belt i had on saved my life, pieces of the suv was all over the road, thank you guys for being the ones that can always be counted on

This broke my heart. Fantastic work. Stay safe guys. RIP, young lady...
Before I get to the emotional part - HUGE shout out to the videographer(s) for the opening sequence with Alan getting the truck ready. The reflection shot.... amazing. Your video crew is as world class as the rest of the crew!
Truly, it was a sad situation. I am sorry for all who were impacted by this. I will hold the gentleman and the young lady's family up in my prayers. You really did an outstanding job in recovering the vehicle. I am so impressed by both your skills and your patience.

Dude, you are always super honest and super positive, even when things dont go right. You always are a great watch.
Definitely not honest
Heavy D . You're a good man. You have great people/friends working with you. You have a wonderful heart, and it shows. .
I LOVE THE WAY YOU AND ALL THE WONDERFUL TEAM MEMBERS GET IN AND HELP EVERYONE OUT. THANK YOU SO VERY VERY VERY MUCH MR. SPARKS SIR.
Kudos to all you guys involved in this difficult recovery. Prayers to the beloved, family, and friends of the woman who lost her life trying to enjoy nature. The rain falling down on you guys is just to let you guys know that even the powers in heaven also shed tears over this tragedy. God bless you all! Keep doing what you are doing! :)
Ok chuck , that was touching how you worded it, THANK YOU
That was very touching thank u and thank u to the guys that were out there
Lol, they dont give a F. Just more money for them, and an opportunity to make a video to make even more money. God bless them for making lots of money, I guess.
Thank you, Dave, for your Sacred Service to this family in their time of need! There is no greater service to our fellow souls than being there for them in their times of need! I congratulate you! Stan Smith; Ozark, Missouri.
Thank you for helping my family retrieve this horrific accident and I give my appreciation to your whole team. I wish we got to meet you and your team.
Sorry for your loss.
Seeing the family standing on the top of the mountain hugging while you guys are working away is a chilling moment. Great work as always. Thanks for letting us be a part of this story
You did this without getting payed. I have no words for how great you guys are! Your channel is the best on youtube hands down.
Prayers going out to you and family from me and my family. I know who I'm calling for help. Keep up the AWESOME recoverys and rescues.
Many thoughts and prayers to her , her family and all who loved her. Your a great group of guys with big hearts.
Huge 👍for the recovery, prayers for all those impacted by this tragic moment🙏🙏
Major respect for HeavyD and crew. Thank you for the respectful way you handled this recovery. I feel terribly for all who were involved in this tragic accident - especially for the lady who lost her life, and for all of her family and friends. Prayers for you all, from Australia XX🙏
Loving your business model here SparksMotors. Theres not many people taking their income from youtube and throwing it into the community the way you are. Thanks boys! Your part of an elite group of people actually making others lives better in many facets. Keep it up; forever a fan of this channel.
Love seeing you out there rescuing people in need. God bless you and all the others who helped out. Sad for the loss of the girlfriend.
Thank God for you and your crew being able to help those in this type of situation. Keep spreading the love!
Sometimes the aftermath from a tragedy can be just as hard, or even harder, to go through. At this point the brain kicks in asking all the "What ifs?" and the "Why didnt I?",, Etc. It was nice to have a team come together that was focused on the matter at hand. Everybody just filled a job that needed it and went forward. I could feel the respect everyone had for each other and for the recovery as a whole.
Definitely next level of professionalism. Thanks HeavyDSparks for keeping it real. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you and every person on that crew for being such incredible, hard-working humanitarians. You guys are awesome!
props to dave and the crew. my heart dropped every time i would imagine what this guy went through the night of the incident, made me go hug my wife. my condolences to all parties
This made me go buy an ATV and look up where a dangerous trail like this is. Life is weird like that, no?
You’ve given this family a blessing in their closure of such a painful accident, there are no words enough to express how precious it is what you did. Thank you for sharing this with the world, hopefully it will increase people’s love and care for one another.
Super sad story and couldn’t even imagine the feels! Heavy D and both crews deserve many kudos. You guys rock!
Deepest condolences to them and the family. I fought tears off the whole time, especially at the end. Good man, Dave.
I love my ariat ropers! They are the perfect tool! I gotta say something, it's truly good to see that there's folks out there doing the things you guys do. Your helping folks and seem to truly be into doing what's right and in the world we live in today where that's so seldom its good just knowing there's folks out there like y'all. Thank you!
