dunefreak Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 First the one on Monday night/ Tuesday morning now this... On Thursday, 11/22/2018, at 0035 hours, California Highway Patrol officer’s responded to an off-highway vehicle collision at Dumont Dunes Off-Highway Vehicle Area north of Baker. 55-year-old Richard William Pasquarello, a Las Vegas resident was the driver and sole occupant of a 2019 Polaris RZR who lost control of the Polaris and rolled. Pasquarello was pronounced dead at the scene. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the collision My buddy Randy saw them dragging the busted up RZR down from the dune Thursday morning near the big bowl. So sad. I wonder if he was not belted in. If anyone has more info or knew Richard, please let us know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 That's what I heard too. It was a 2019 single seat RZR. Those stock cages are garbage. I wonder if he was wearing a helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj5pioneer Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Richard died at the scene do to serious injury's. Such a shame his life ends so early, but on to the next chapter he must go. He has been my friend(family) my entire life, and I will miss him tremendously. My greatest memories as a kid were chasing rabbits in Delamar and camping with Rich and my dad. My heart goes out to his family, so sorry for your lost . J.S . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dive Bar Casanova Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) May have been a situation where any cage would have folded up. The Ace is a really tipsy ride. Edited November 24, 2018 by Dive Bar Casanova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transporter Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 The stock belts are usually the problem why they haven't put better belts in from the factory is beyond me thoughts and prayers go out to the family members sorry for your loss!

DuNe~Rydher Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 2019's had a recall for the cages sucking ass. Wonder if it was related. Very sad anytime something like this happens. Rip fellow duner. I saw flight for life 2 or 3 times just on Friday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceisback Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Toll down at Glamis is at least 6, but the number 8 is being floated around this morning. Helluva way for family and friends to have to return from a holiday. Let's try to be more careful out there peeps. It's supposed to be fun, not tragic.

raspadoo Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Sad Thanksgiving for many, seems the stuff in G was mostly non side by side related... I would say though, and it has been said before (not referring to any particular accident) All side by side stock belts need to be changed out to harnesses before use as well as Polaris cages. If you can not afford to spend that extra money you can not afford the side by side... Godspeed to all the fellow duners who lost their lives and prayers to all those effected, I couldn't even imagine.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandmandan Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 We saw both of the rzr’s Being towed out. Both cages collapsed, the single seat was worse. Neither accident looked that forceful. I don’t have info on helmets or belts. Just keep getting the word out. You have to put a proper cage, and belts, before you go riding. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
