[quote=caprihorse;10546]... or not to get pop-out next time... :012:[/quote]
Yes. As we must not panic. I think the pop outs are the result of ultra panics.

I can't agree totally with you sir.. Yes Panic MAY lead to a pop-out indirectly, but the main reason is wrong technique. If you panic and drive wrong, a lot of things can go wrong.
If you are confident and drive wrong you also can get a pop-out..
These are, from my humble experience the main factors:
1- Driving skill by far the most important
2-Quality of tires and wheels and appropriateness of tire pressure
3- Type of terrain your driving on

DL, I can agree with you only in some points.
1 - Absolutely agreed
2 - Quality of tyres, rims, valves and valve inserts, yes additionally some tyre brands are completely useless in the desert, so this is sometimes also cause of pop-out
3 - Terrain, you cannot choose, you have to drive it, so it is coming point 1 in action - SKILLS. On the other hand we saw pop-outs also in a flat area, almost on tarmac...
Generally speaking to avoid pop-out, it is important to avoid rough turns up, driving sideways, or when driving down and turning sharply left or right. In such cases the pop-out is guaranteed, even with high pressure.
Grass has green or grey colour, but in your mind the colour of grass should change in alerting red and drive through that area very carefully.
After every pop-out, it is important to visit balancing tyre shop and examine tyre and valve and off-course remove fully the sand.
