How is it Ford's fault on this particular issue? Not saying I'd ever buy a Ford, but just trying to understand.

WOW, that looks like a pretty bad accident. Wonder ifthe roof just collapsed later, because there is no way that you could've survived that if it happened while you were in the car.

Actually they were in the car. Both seat backs broke so they were essentially flat. I think that helped alot. The driver ended up underneath the dashboard. It's amazing that he didn't at least break a bone. Both were released the same night from the hospital.

That's just amazingly lucky that the seat backs broke. If they didn't, I'm sure they both would've been pancaked. Maybe that's a Ford design feature
