If the embankment was nearly 90 degrees, your car would've folded up into an accordion, that's what they are designed to do with their crumple zones. Sorry, gotta throw the BS flag here. Too many variables not adding up. Or maybe the story was a bit embellished (sp?)

Glad to hear you are ok though.
It happened out by treasure island, and It happened exactly like I described it, no BS what so ever.After it happened I was looking at the bank, and I would've thought it should've stopped the car dead in its tracks.I didn't really check the damage out, but from what I hear from the towing company and the cops, its easily totaled, and I wouldn't be suprised if the unibody did in fact fold, or at least bend quite a bit.I did notice the front end folded under, making sort of a sled shape, which may explain how it launched off the bank.I don't know, but the bank was steep, I was going too fast, and the old lightning mobile got some pretty good air.
