It then flipped sideways and rotated around to an end-to-end flip. If the top of his head was not scrubbed off by the road, then it may have been the fact that he only had a lap belt on, which lets you smash your face pretty hard in to the steering wheel and dash. That's just my guess, though....

My guess was going to be a tornado picked up the car and took it for a ride. Your theory sounds more solid.

And I agree with the other guy, the roll bar did it's job. Loose harness, no harness, not enough height on the roll bar, etc. The driver side cockpit area appears rather well in tact.
