Usain Bolt Flips His BMW M3
Jamaican Olympic champion Usain Bolt, the fastest man alive, was going fast enough to flip his new BMW M3 multiple times before landing in a ditch. Maybe he should stick to running.

According to his manager the sprinter is fine, though video from Sky News shows a bandage around his foot. Given the condition of the car he appears to have been lucky. Reports also mention a female passenger, so we're a little curious about what might have been going on inside the car to cause the quick Bolt to lose his attention.

A Jamaican man who witnessed the crash give Bolt a "10" for his landing of the BMW. An Australian woman who also saw the accident only gave it a "4" due to a previously unheard of technical efficiency. Hat Tip to Damian!

but take a look at that fine german engineering and notice the shape of the passenger compartment and the fact that two people survived that crash.
