So, today i crashed on my 2007 smart fortwo grandstyle, the other guy hit my left-back wheel on a curve and my car flew down a cliff until stopping on some dense foliage.
The car spinned down a good 500m or more with me and a friend of mine in it. Was like 15/20 seconds of spinning and we were conscious the whole time.
To my surprise, when the car stopped, both me and my friend were left uninjured. (He has minor scratches from the glass roof breaking and i have a seatbelt friction burn on my left shoulder). But here's the thing, no broken bones, no head trauma, no deep cuts, nothing.
I realize that we both are incredibly lucky, but i never thought that that small car could take such punishment
The car remained in that egg shape the whole time, we rolled like a ball downhill, our seatbelts made sure that we weren't projected away from the car because the glass roof broke instantly. I am pretty sure that if i was driving some other car, we would be smashed inside it. I had to leave the car in there, because the only way to even leave the car was though the roof, that was broken and wide open.
Later will add pictures of the place when i had the crash, and maybe of the actual destroyed car when i can. The car is still there as i speak, trapped in dense foliage. Tomorrow will work on removing it, somehow.
And sorry about my english, it isn't my 1st language!
TLDR: Had a crash, car rolled 500m down a cliff with me in it, the rigid structure where the car is built around saved my life.
EDIT: Pictures!
