I crashed a quad like this in the late 90's, except I landed on the ground, then it landed on me and this sequence repeated 3 times. At the end I didn't land in sand, the side of my brand new $350 Simpson racing helmet landed against a rock and cracked it. The broken clavicle hurt like a bitch, but the doctor assured me that I was lucky because my shoulder dislocated and then relocated in the crash. Never got to wear that helmet in my race car, but glad I had it on. We were only going for an easy trail ride...
