I doubt that anyone would have expected a perpendicular crash along a straight.

Thank God that he didn't lose consciousness. Nobody could have reached around in that fire to find the driver (they couldn't even tell if the safety cell was right side up!), un-harness, remove the steering wheel and headrest, and lift an unconscious driver out of the wreck.

A lot of credit has to be given to Romain for not panicking and getting out of the car so fast. You have about 10 seconds before all your safety gear fails.
