>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."
