Scary situation

Have a look at this video (Thunderhill, I think. I could be incorrect.) I'd be intereested in hearing/reading comments on this.
My own first comment is to see how long it took for the driver to get unhooked and out of the car.

Quite a conversation about this on the Conference Forum.
It was ORP. It was posted by the driver!

That was at ORP last weekend and I watched this unfold....
Response by the conner workers was good and I thought the driver did a great job getting out of the car quickly. Could it have been faster? Of course but still handled very well.
The big fear at grass valley is catching the grass on fire but the "big" fire truck with on-board water was there as quickly as can be expected and got everything under control.
A few commented that the driver should have hit the kill switch and fire bottle... yea sure but in the same condition after barrel rolling... I thought he did pretty good to just get the hell out. That is what I would be thinking about.
