The Czechs already came up with the best solution.

My dad rolled his Scout II down an embankment going about 60km/h in the snow when somebody cut him off. After getting the Scout pulled out by a towtruck, and kicking the roof dents out, we drove it skiing the next day. It was that kind of a truck.
