From what I recall, she was not given a helmet and the terrain was so rough that she fell off and was very badly injured. Others reported shoulder separating and broken arm injuries. I have to admit, this did sound fun but I decided to do other things as these stories totally turned me off. Wasn't worth ruining a great trip! Dune buggy tour was suggested by posters but I haven't even done that!!!
