The roll cage, combined with the dissipation of energy with the rolling and tumbling us what saved the driver. Not just the roll cage. Silly media.

Most of the media don't know racing.

that crash was wild... guess it goes to prove how little friction there is when metal meets the road

The reporter is Pippa Gardner. For a second, I thought it was Pippa Garner:

Worse to look at than the crash!

by the looks of the crash, it doesnt even appear that the car ever really HIT the roll cage. I don't know as that crash would have hurt him any more had he not had a roll cage at all.

Our roads contain lots of errant kangaroos.

Crazy crash. It's amazing those spectators weren't harmed, let alone the driver.

Might have collapsed the windshield when he first went upside down, and I'm not sure where the cage goes, but if that was a stock rear hatch I'm pretty impressed...
