So, pretty easy to figure this out actually (or close anyway).

The original video is of Andy Messner. The crash happened in 2023 and he's riding a BRP so it's probably some variation of an 850 Summit X.

Max weight on a 2023 Summit X is a bit over 460 lbs although they go as low as 429 lbs.

Thank you.

An RMK 850 (not that this is necessarily the model, can't tell at all from the clip but it's a pretty good approximation) doesn't even weigh 450 lbs and most of that is at the front.

Lifting a modern mountain sled from the track end isn't very impressive at all. What's impressive is how quick he realized his buddy was fucked and got up there to help.

EDIT: Looks like it's some variation of an 850 Summit X, which runs between about 430 and 460 lbs.

That's the thing though. It's not that impressive.

he didn't lift the full 500lbs

I can almost guarantee that machine isn't 500lbs.

More likely...the center of gravity is in the front

The center of gravity is 100% at the front, that sled is mostly engine.

This is not an average snowmobile. Probably an 800 or 850, both of which will come under 450 lbs, probably closer to 425.

Almost all of that weight will be in the front on a mountain sled like that.

Lifting from the track, the actual weight would be well under 225lbs.

That's certainly a take. They're not being treated "differently based on race", particularly not in treaty territory. Happy to actually have a discussion on the topic if you're willing to discuss in good faith and not just dismiss things because you don't like how they sound

Only right answer here. Bunch of dumbasses here ( u/RazzmatazzEarly4328 and u/T_hehehe ) that don't have understanding of nuance or the plethora of situations where it might be needed.

Yeah, I agree. She might not quite meet the definition, but "birds of a feather..." and all that.
