But it's funny if everybody walks, or at least limps away from it.

Never try to panic-stop a Pinto while you're in a turn. Never.

I never thought about extra exits from tanks till now.  One hopes there was one.

I've seen a few scenario like this (but not as bad) out in the desert but luckiy those only ended up with the vehicle on it's side and the worst was a busted up collar bone from the tossed-out commander of an M-113 still trying to go 30mph on its side down in a forgotten dugout in the middle of scrub brush in the hinterlands of Ft. Drum..
