Indeed not, I don't like SUVs at all, if it would been 300-serie car, that is different story, for example, it would not fly like that, but slide with wheels a bit and only Volvo badge would need polishing while other car would been much shorter :lol:

I really doubt that person can survive from that, you can very well see how car rest above him at end, ppl are died under car when support has collapsed when they have been working there and that is similar weight.

Reminds me a bit from another clip, where reporter is talking near intersection, says something like that it is most dangerous intersection and then bang, there is accident, can't remember if report got hit too or just cars, but really scary when you think of it.

Some ppl are saying that those kind of clips should not be showed, but I really don't understand that point of view. For me those are great study material of how physics act, also what kind of riscs there is and all that kind of stuff, but I guess some are living more with feeling than I. Feeling, what is that, can it be measured? What, can't be measured, then it does not exists :lol:

I've seen this posted before on Tbricks. I think it was said at the time that the guy did live, albeit with horrible injuries. If you look very closely, he's thrown clear of the SUV. Be careful people!

cheers
