Incredible moment as driver flies out of vehicle after flipping it while driving on beach in Kuwait… and remains unscathed after landing in sea
A driver is lucky to be alive after flipping his car while driving at high speed on a beach and being thrown from the vehicle, flying through the air like a crash test dummy.
Dramatic footage shows the moment the Toyota FJ Cruiser comes racing across the sand, seemingly out of control as it weaves between the sea and the sand.
The 4×4 splashes water in the air as the driver speeds along the coastline, sending a man who was chatting on the quiet beach to run out of the sea as the car speeds towards him.
The SUV appears to catch an edge before flipping and rolling several times before coming to a stop on its side.
As the car rolls through the water, the driver is thrown high into the air, flipping several times before crashing into the sea next to his overturned car.

The water seems to have broken his fall, and incredibly, the man immediately gets up.
Seemingly in disbelief at what has just happened, he manages to walk out of the sea, and apart from a slight limp, appears unharmed.
He seems to be getting rid of his aches and pains and stumbles onto the beach.
Astonished beachgoers rush over to watch him, gathering around him as the man sits down on the sand.
The cameraman laughs after seeing the bizarre scenes.
The video was filmed on Saturday at the Abu Hasaniya public beach near Kuwait City.
According to reports, the fire brigade was called to the scene to remove the Cruiser from the water.
Officials from Mubarak Al-Kabeer Governorate reportedly seized the vehicle.

It is unclear whether the 34-year-old driver faces a penalty for the beach incident.
Many residents were outraged by the man’s reckless stunt.
One resident said: ‘He wasn’t wearing his seat belt, it’s like giving a child a knife as a toy.’
Another commented: ‘What kind of idiot drives on the beach? Third-rate mentality.’
