Rally drivers survive the unsurvivable. From Ott Tänak's cliff drop at Monte Carlo 2020 to Jari-Matti Latvala's 17-roll tumble in Portugal, these are the ten most violent near-death crashes in WRC history where drivers walked away when they shouldn't have.

In this video, I break down exactly what happened, why each crash occurred, and how modern rally safety technology saved lives that would have been lost decades ago. From pace note errors to black ice patches, every crash tells a story about the razor-thin margins in the world's most dangerous motorsport.
