Read the part about the bank being 10 feet tall and almost 90 degrees. Impossible that a low car would even go up the bank. 10 feet is one story high. Are you telling me that you would fly 30 feet out (not 30 feet high, but 30 feet out) after hitting such a bank? If you did, you would be endo-ing. I've seen people hit banks that are almost 10 feet tall head on at over 60mph with cars that were slightly raised and they stop!! They may climb the bank a little, but they don't go over it.
As far as damage, it depends on if the landing was sloped or not. If a car drops straight from 30 feet it will do alot of damage. If it has a gradual slope downward to a flat landing, it will still do very substantial damage to the car. 30 feet is 30 feet no matter how you look at it.
As was said before, he was in a huge accident and thankfully he is alive and intact. That is the main thing. I won't whore up this thread anymore.
