Here's one that I remember seeing 'live' on TV, well before I was old enough to do the 1500 mile / 2500km round trip to Bathurst (NSW, Australia).
It really IS a 'walk away' crash!

It's Bill Brown in a Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III :




This is what an article in carsguide said: "Bill walked away (literally) from the accident, and refused to lie on the stretcher for medical attention in the moments after the accident. Bill’s survival has been attributed to the back rest of the seat breaking during the crash meaning that as the car’s roof was being crushed, Bill was actually horizontal and avoided what would have surely been a life ending impact."

Cheers to Bill!
