Driver survives 199 mph crash in a Pagani Zonda F
I came across this article this morning on Jalopnik and thought to myself, wow...to survive a crash from 199 mph. This guy was VERY VERY lucky.

The structure of the car is thought as a F1-car. Just look at the photos. The body is ruined, so are mecanical parts, but the chassis is nearly okay.
Both luck and technology are involved, but if the car slides along the rail or hits it on the side with an angle small enough not to stop it too brutally you're more likely to survive than a frontal hit at 200mph.
