Core Tip	Traumatic spinal injury is a major cause of morbidity, with cervical injuries being the most common type. Desert safari dune bashing, a popular tourist activity, poses a significant risk due to various maneuvers and exposes occupants to flexion-extension, axial loading, and rotational injuries of the spine. Rollover crashes on dunes exert unique forces on occupants, often leading to spinal injuries. Mixed forces analysis and understanding injury patterns assist in prognosis and prevention. Awareness of these mechanisms can aid in preventing these injuries, ensuring appropriate immobilization, rapid diagnosis, and timely management to prevent secondary neurological injuries.
