We just saw a pic of a tank in that same scenario here the other night. It's weight just crumbled the bank and let it slide in, wonder if the height of the Stryker had any thing to do with this.
Travis, you know a little bit abot sand and beaches, and what they will support and won't. Comments?

The silly "slat armor" RPG deflector added 5,200 pounds to an already top heavy vehicle. In its brand new, 40,000 pound configuration the Army found that they would roll over at any angle over 30 degrees. With the added 5,200 pounds ABOVE the axles, I wouldn't even hazard a guess at what small angle it would take to roll them over now.

You're asking me about tanks and canals? Hell, all I know is whether they support a pair of jungle boots or not when you jump off the front of a boat.
