It's amazing what a good roll cage can do.
 
They're both really lucky that their arms stayed inside the car as it flipped. I knew someone that was in an accident where they flipped with their arm out the window, it didn't end well.

I was thinking the same thing, tbh. That must be one of the worst things that can happen when you flip, dangling out of the window :/
 
Apparently, the car only flipped once. The editing makes it appears as 2-3 flips.


Still crazy as shit though.

Something something Death Proof leg dangling :/

Apparently it only rolled once and the multiple times is just the same shot being shown in different camera perspectives?

From the way OP made it sound, I expected something a la Richard Hammond's nearly being decapitated video.

lol this happened to me at 18 lol it wasnt a car but a 80mph gokart my dad build... it had a roll cage but no net and i flipped it like 3-4 times going full speed, on the last flip it jerked my left arm and it hit the ground at 75+ mph...

i broke both of the bones in my forearm and the right most one popped out about 2 inches...( when i lifted my arm up it fell at a 25 degree angle from the middle of my forearm) two 6 inch titanium plates, 12 screws and 37 stables later...😔
never again... well i get on a kokart lol.

im reallly lucky though the doctor said if that bone that popped out had done it even a half inch over it would have severed one of my main arteries and I would've lost my arm

A friend of mine broke his hand after rolling his 4wd because he was holding onto the top of the door frame while driving. Good times.

well holy shit, dude! O_O

I'm okay.
I prayed for this. You're welcome.

Yeah you can see how Leno immediately pulls his right arm in more and keeps it there

If you look closely you can even see Leno has his hand outside the car and manages to pull it inside only moments before that part hits the road. You. That would have hurt.
 
Heh that was pretty entertaining. Glad they're both experienced enough to come out of that pretty much OK. I actually like Jay Leno a lot when he's not doing his traditional late night show, I wish he was my uncle or something. He seems cool.
 
After the shakes and scariness of it all wore off you could tell that a part of Jay was actually just sitting there thinking of his bucketlist and grinning its ass off. Since no one got hurt he has a much more exciting story than intended to remember about one of his dream cars. Glad they are both safe and unharmed and that after it was over they could both snicker and laugh their ass off at how crazy that was to have been through together. After all, once your old you don't get adventure stories like that very often anymore.
 
Watched the video thinking "rolled" was some gearhead slang for losing a race. Was legit shocked when that somebitch flipped.



SWEET LORD IN HEAVEN, was that staged or did it happen in the course of a race?

I think it's the real deal, Pike's Peak hill climb event?
