[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 2654110, member: 1546"] I broke both drive shafts about a year ago on a sand rock hill climb just after crossing a canyon pond dam. One side of the dam dropped off into a pond, the other dropped off the backside a long ways. Well, I heard the POP and let out of the skinny pedal and mashed the square pedal. I eased backwards off the the steep part but still on a decent slope. I put it in park to step out and survey the damage. Stepped out and the door hit me and the Blazer was rolling backwards. (For size comparison, the floorboard hits me about the belly button, I am 6' tall) I dive in toward the brake pedal and mash as hard as I can with my hand, stopping it. I hold it until somebody can fetch a log to chalk a tire. The gf and her friend were appreciative. [/QUOTE]
