Like the "If I wore my seatbelt, i'd be dead" threads, there will now be "If I stayed in my car, I'd be dead" threads.

Maybe one of those 9 lives kind of guys, get's away with things others could never do and either has an incredible personality or is a total ****, I have known a few, seen a few eventually die a well and some that seem to live forever.

They are both lucky.

The driver of the second car (blue suit, red car, facing toward camera)
has unbuckled and is in the process of hoisting himself out of the
vehicle when the third car strikes.

Although the fellow in the red suit walked off, I would be interested
to hear whether he truly got away competely unscathed.

Thanks for the footage.

Well, sometimes you do have to get out of the car.

Look at Johnny O almost getting munched at the 50 second mark.

Let's hope he had a REAL good reason for unstraping (like being covered in fuel) otherwise wait for marshalls. /:\
