I've got one of those on the other sled..only thing on a Ski Doo it WILL bend the bumper
Oh man, been there before. Its amazing how those logs can cripple even the most burly of sleds. Good stuck!

I think I would have tried...
We should as a community benefit from the experience of fellow riders.
Looking at this I would have tried lifting it up from the front and push it over on its back. slide it and then roll it upright and drive away.
Not sure I would have the strength, footing or the leverage for this plan but wouldn't know till I tried it.
Experience really should have the easiest egress figured out. Not saying my attempt would be the easiest.
I keep learning with every stuck but always have fellow riders to help me with the tough ones.
Clem helped me on a stuck one time when he said roll it and it was an easy unstuck. I never used rolling a sled as an option before.

After watching the video and all the work he put into it, man, I kept thinking, dig a little up front and roll it down hill. Once you get the sled upside down going down hill, it becomes easy peezee!
Another thing I do before rolling a sled, is roll it on it side and goose the throttle to clean out all the snow in the rear skid, frees the skid from the hole its in, and makes it easier to roll. Make sure when you do this, its the down hill side your leaning to clear the skid out.

Do you carry a shovel? It takes 30 minutes max to dig out around your machine to get out of the worst stuck.
I have never ridden alone. I do go ahead of the others to check out a questionable area to avoid getting the whole group stuck. I can dig myself out a lot easier than lifting a bunch of buried machines.

I would sacrifice a bumper in place of 4 hour stuck any day.
