damn i was just about to post that, good thing i looked around. crazy video though!

door still opened after all of that. im not surprised the engine came out after all the trouble with the engine mounts the speed3 has had! haha

Well, it's a testament to the structure designed by Volvo. I'm guessing there was a rollcage in the car as well.

Dude needed a window net. His head came out of the window.

Wow only 5 easy steps!!!!
1. go through corner too fast
2. make sure there's a lot of sand where you intend to go
3. make sure passenger front tire comes off first
4. drop drivetrain
5. remove driver's front tire

Thats a crazy crash, glad he walked away.

Guess there is going to be a part-out going on soon. Dibs on the engine.

The engine coming out is for safety. all mazdas do that, if the engine catches fire then it falls out.

serious though I cant believe he lived. rollcages save lives.
