Wear your seatbelts, guys...lest you get ejected so goddamn hard that you end up on an overhead freeway sign.

Man that impact flattened his ears right out
Achievement unlocked
Drift button kicked in your (I know it wasn't a focus rs, but we'll go with it so that it's established for when RS wrecks start happening)
That's some grand theft auto crap right there.
Freaky...Saw that in the news this morning.
That's CRAZY
OTOH, the cabin of the fiesta looks pretty much intact.

That's what I was thinking - the car survived pretty well, if the driver hadn't been an idiot he probably would have also. 
In reply to petegossett:
If he hadn't been an idiot he wouldn't have needed a seatbelt either.
Wow. That fiesta must be pretty tough. Looks like the stupidity of the driver ended up exceeding his luck, though.
It makes me glad my brother wears a seatbelt now. He didnt used to weave through traffic like an idiot, but the cause of an accident doesnt matter as far as bones are concerned. No belt plus rolling car never equals anything good.
Karma and Darwin tag teamed this guy. Sorry his family has to deal with it
if there was a way to do it and ensure that folk didn't get hurt, I think everyone should be strapped in and have to endure a 40 - 50 mph spinning, bouncing off of things type of wreck so they'd have at least a small understanding of the actual violence of a car crash … even at less than highway speeds …
from a couple of incidents on track and then a few "my bads" on the highway, I've found it amazing the actual violence of just spinning, much less the violence of impact

agreed. I've never been in a bad wreck, but I have been in a spinning car. It might have been on purpose, but it's surprisingly hard to keep oriented when the world is a whirlwind.

Shouldnt be any blood to worry about
Could be this years Darwin Award winner.
Sucks for his family though.
funny guy writing article on linked web page said: "Based on the injuries sustained and force of impact" with the F-150, it wasn’t clear exactly what killed Pananian, the CHP report stated.
umm.. yeah, ok...
i'm sure the family of this stupid kid is talking to lawyers about how to sue Ford for millions of dollars for building the car that killed their kid, as well as the state of California for not putting up signs that aren't fatal to anyone thrown against them..
I'm not sure which one is more impressive. Dude landing on a sign or this guy living through this https://www.youtube.com/embed/EQ6CPIM1ZCs
while impressive.. look how the car turns in mid-air.. he hits passengerside first into the bridge.

Well, yeah. But the car breaks into pieces and the guy splats on to the pavement, slides down the road and stops on the shoulder.

(paraphrasing what Matt Farah would say about this--he has a recurring thing about LA Armenians)
Bro. He ees in our harts [sic] forever bro.
hard for me to feel bad about that level of recklessness. I'm glad he didn't kill any bystanders/surrounding drivers. Further proof that driving like a hothead is so dangerous. The physics of that are impressive.
I have no idea where the driver was in the shot of the Trans Am wreck, though.

He's the dark piece of debris that the white car stops for on the right.
Sort of blows the "thrown clear" idea.
Crash test dummies?
OK, I see him now. Although skipping down a freeway at 50+mph had got to be unpleasant, it's still a more gradual deceleration then splatting against a billboard.

It really, really is. And the number one reason why I stay IN things with 4 wheels instead of ON things with just 2.
