Survived the Crash, Died Turning Head

My friend's boss bought an Audi A4 convertible, back when they were new and interesting.

One of the talking points was the pop-up roll hoops that were hidden unless you rolled it.

A few months after buying it he got to test those roll hoops out, as he lost control

and skidded down a steep bank about 10m (~35ft) deep. The roll hoops did their job,

and he survived with just cuts and scratches from the bushes he'd plowed through.

The car ended up the right way up and he got out, walked back up the bank to the side

of the road, then got on the phone to the police to report the accident. While he was standing

there a driver from a car that had seen the accident came over to speak to him.
