So what caused the windshield to blow out? Maybe the passengers side window was down a little and when he got sideways too much air was being forced into the cabin? I’m just taking a wild ass guess here because I’ve never seen a window just pop out like that. I mean, unbelted people in a crash have been forced THROUGH a window without popping it out clean like that. ---

That would raise your heart rate alittle…lol Good thing for steep banks:) It’s a good thing his rim didn’t get a good bite in the ground or he would of been fliping instead of spinning. ---

The pressure of 150 mph air hitting the inside of the window is what blew the windshield out.
