IIRC Webber flipped the CLR twice ( ) duing the 99 LeMans, but that was nothing like what Dumbreck went through. I was watching it almsost live on TV and had absolutely no doubts he had died. I counted 5 somersaults that the car made. And not only did he not die, he only had some cuts and bruises and was able to get out of the car by himself.
