Heart Attack is well beyond me and well beyond my SMB. Here's a youtube video of someone rolling their Jeep on the descent (fortunately, I believe the driver made a full recovery):

That's just poor line choice and bad spotting. Also looks like an alternate line to the viewer's right/driver's left?

Well, SMB member PETE and I went down Heart Attach Hill in a Tacoma 4x4 and made it down with out much excitement. At that time it didn't seem that bad. Although I did have him and his boy get out at the top just in case. The real excitement on that trail is a mile or so back up at the The Squeeze. There I missed putting a truck length crease in the side by a 1/4 inch.

Been down on motos many times. Bottom line, a van would get stopped at The Squeeze well before HAH, and everyone on the trail before that point would tell you to turn around.

This is the van I'm talking about taking down (and around) Diablo.
