I have a very old video clip of an early crash test of a split window
bug. Probably made in the late 40s, and it shows a split VW driven by a
test driver off of a cliff probably 20 ft high. It goes end over end a
couple of times and lands upside down on the roof. Several helpers run
out, right the car, and the test driver drives off. Only apparent
damage was slight dents to front and rear and the roof. That's an old
factory film and it's probably out there on the net somewhere.

I've done an end-over-end (not a side-roll) in a Beetle, on a freeway,
at 70MPH, backwards. Changed the tire that popped off the rim, started
the car, drove (most of the way) back home. Made it about 200 miles
before all the tranny oil leaked out and the tranny seized up, motor
still worked.
Try that in a U.S. or Jap car.
