This sort of thing is our first clue about how carefully stage managed all the messaging is. With the vast breadth of the English language behind them why do these professional speakers always say exactly the same thing over and over and over. On every channel. On every topic

Literally thanks God he's fine

[@Wizofawes]

*time to poop yourself

[@Happymali10]

Always worth remembering: An extensive rollover might look violent, but it's preferable to a crash that brings the car to a dead stop, because the rolling and bumping eats up energy that thus doesn't get transferred to the passengers.

[@DaithíOreilly-t6y]

Good point 😅

[@chicobicalho5621]

Makinen's crash was extra dramatic because of that miraculous hop over a spectator. It was truly miraculous because it was rolling, then it went higher over his head just as if the guys guardian angel pulled the Subaru up from the heavens to avoid him. I think Tommi was very, very shaken afterwords.

[@busterthewolf7864]

Man these cars are freaking tanks!!! I mean, what a testament to all the new safety technologies that have been developed in the last 2 decades. For a driver to just walk out after falling down a cliff or even a mountain at 180 km/h... Absolutely incredible

Nothing will ever top Markko Martin in Argentina 2004. Not much of the crash was captured on video besides hitting the rock at high speed from the onboard, but the aftermath of what is basicly reduced to half a car still amazes me to this day that both occupants got out relativly unscathed...
