Video of a rally car finding no traction on a turn... no fun at all.
[fine print] The link goes straight to the video so I don't think there will be any ads or objectionable material popping up. If it does, it's not my fault! I use intensive ad/popup blocking though so I may just be missing them. [/fine print] |

Whoa damn, no traction at all, almost like something happened!
That would not be the place I'd like to end up. That's one of my biggest fears is being trapped in a car underwater. Looks like it took em a bit to figure out the buckles! |

Most race sactioning body's require you to be able to unbuckled and out of the car, with 10seconds, while blind folded. It is part of the liscense testing. You have to find the fire supresion handle, the electrical disconnect, unbuckle, and exit the car.
I'm sure being upside down, and blind, would make that even more difficult. |

Whatever that orange notebook was, it must have been important to the navigator 
He was going too fast for the curve and his front wheels locked in some really slippery mud from what I see, weird part is he never got the nose pointed left at all.

Being a Rally race, I image those were his course notes. |

LMAO. I did the same thing when I watched it. I noticed afterward that I was holding my breath. Scary landing indeed. |
