MaxYakov Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Judging from the very wide tires and the front-mount intercooler (FMIC) it appeared to be a high performance vehicle. I suspect the driver was doing some outrageous maneuver in the vehicle and lives to do it again! He's very lucky it didn't catch fire as the ending in that case would have been quite different. Kudos to the rescue crew's skillful extraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keesters Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 And for every one lucky man like this who lived there are thousands who don't. The majority of them not even driving the vehicle that caused the accident. Celebrating this event will do NOTHING to prevent the daily carnage on Thai roads. It is more than likely to have the opposite effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aluminium radiator is the intercooler and it looks pretty much standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't have enough of these F & F movies can we? They keep things safe and sane on the highways and byebyeways. You can come up with the alternative title.

I'm guessing he rolled over into the passenger seat because he was not wearing a seat belt, this probably saved his life as he would have no doubt broken his neck had he been pinned upright into his seat by a seat belt. Similar thing happened to me and because it was such a short journey I didn't put my seat belt on. The car rolled onto it's roof and I toppled over into the passenger seat. The car stopped against a tree stump which came through the windscreen on the drivers side and would have crushed my skull had I been strapped in. Somebody must have been watching over me as I normally always wear a seatbelt. The police recovery truck driver was looking for my halo also!

Before they cut him out of the steal/wreckage he could have been cut loose out of seatbelt long before or opened it himself. I stick to my point: saved by seatbelt...

No wonder he crashed if he couldn't see over the dashboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
