These IS are cursed! But I am glad that you are ok. Though the car is a tragedy, you are still ok, and the car can replaced. Sorry to hear about your loss.

It's good to see that you were able to walk away from that. You may have lost the car but at least you still have what's most important.

Very glad you (and everyone else) walked away safe from what looks like a very bad accident. How fast were you going to flip that many times? Lucky guy!

Is it safe to say you were going a bit fast?

You can count your lucky stars that you can walk out of it yourself. I hope you feel OK, & probably should have a doctor give you an examination anyway just to be careful .
