A little bit melodramatic, perhaps?   Given that the car was equipped with 
the necessary safety equipment (roll bar, racing harnesses) and the driver 
was fully equipped with safety gear as well, the positive outcome should have 
been completely expected.

If he had been drunk, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, and not wearing his 
seat belt, and the car flipped over and he fell out as it rolled and then got 
up and walked away, THAT would satisfy the 'lucky to be alive' criteria, 
IMHO....
