Default No arm restraints?

This looks like it ends badly.
I'm guessing he was not wearing arm restraints.

Another instinct that is not a good one! I once rolled a small single seat off road racer in Central Washington many moons ago. I remember putting my arm up to protect myself at the wrong time and learned how much fun it is to relocate your own dislocated shoulder out in the middle of nowhere.

I would like to retract my previous statement that this accident ends badly.

I have just been made aware that the driver was in fact Chuck Norris, and that with his fist alone, he was able to flip the car upright (and leave a very deep fist imprint in the asphalt.....sorry, Chuck Norris OT humor there).

That seems plausible, a reflex action, but I would have thought that arm restraints would prevent this?
