Re: [DML] Escaping from a rolled DeLorean

>From Stainless Steel Illusion:

"DMC engineers claimed that during crash testing the instance of both doors
jamming shut never occurred. What happens in an accident in which the car
ends up upside down? DMC stated the chance of such an accident happening is
slim, which is true, though it is a natural thought once you are closed up
inside the gullwing door. The company said that when a car is placed upside
down on its roof on a blacktop highway a 160 lb. man was able to release the
door and wiggle out. If both doors jammed shut, DMC claimed it was possible
to kick out the non-laminated safety glass side window to escape."
