yeah he posted the pictures on NASIOC some time ago but it's different looking at what it looked like on site. INSANE is the correct term for sure.

A friend of mine always calls my car a hot wheel or tonka toy, and says that if I ever get into an accident that my car will crumple like aluminum foil. Needless to say he knows nothing about cars

Subaru

I can't believe you guys are saying he is alive because of Subaru safety. He is alive because he got lucky, and if he had ANY passengers in the car they all would have been dear.

This is an old, old, OLD, video and yes it has little to do with Subaru safety. The safety features of the Subaru might have contributed a little bit to his survival but for the most part it was luck.

It's like people that have jumped or fallen from a great height - most die but there are those very lucky few that have walked away with very minor injuries.
