That’s one way of making the sticky out front bumper a bit flatter!

I wonder if there would be any issues with oil starvation sat at that angle for any length of time?

Usually, photos and videos tend to smooth things out, and things look easier on video than in reality…

In this case, it looks really scary!!

I can't even imagine how that'd feel from inside the vehicle! Shocked “A Land Rover immobilized is a moral defeat for the driver and bad publicity for the vehicle, […] it's up to you to do justice to your Land Rover!” - Land Rover Driving Technique.

Exactly my first thought as well. Coming from a motorbike background, first thing always is kill the engine to prevent oil starvation and damage.
Anyhow, thankfully not mine Rolling with laughter

Completed the Old Telegraph track in the wife's RRS back in 2014, i can say that it takes
a lot of faith in your vehicle to do gunshot and not give a F about the $'s if it blows an engine,
even my Bro-In-Law bypassed it with his modified GQ.. Plenty of nutters in Oz though to entertain
the rest of us Whistle yet another pommie bar steward down under
