Yup, my daughter sheared off an 18+ inch pole (45 KV dual 3-phase 
feeder, not just your typical residential pole) and flipped my Honda 
Civic Hybrid a couple years ago.  She got out without a single scratch!
When we went to get personal stuff out of it, the doors still opened and 
closed perfectly, even though it had rolled over and the roof was mashed 
down about a foot.  I was amazed at the structural integrity of the 
passenger compartment.

Of course, Bob could have had a medical problem that caused the wreck, 
not the other way around.
