Ok.......I want THAT car!!! Forget airbags, and modern safety standards. This dude rolls his car TWICE and just drives off.
...until you get in a collision and the car crumples up and squeezes you out like red toothpaste.
Cars like that don't crumple up, you just bounce around inside till you die
Oh they sure do. They really like shoving the steering column through your spine.

Ya, iirc, it was something like a Datsun or Toyota compact car, which were a lot smaller and fragile than today's compacts.
This is one of those events that you chalk up to pure luck.
Crazy luck, 70s imports in the US were very fragile. buddy lost a wheel and most of his suspension hitting a curb in a cvcc.
