Watch: Reckless Driver Flies Through The Air After Flipping SUV On Kuwait Beach

Without a seatbelt, the man was thrown from his SUV, soaring roughly 16 feet through the air before landing in the shallow water of the Persian Gulf.

A driver at Abu Hasaniya Public Beach in Kuwait narrowly avoided disaster after a reckless joyride went wrong. A video captured on YouTube shows a blue-and-white Toyota FJ Cruiser cruising slowly alongside the water, the New York Post reported. But moments later, the 34-year-old driver slams the accelerator, sending the SUV careening into the water at high speed. The situation quickly spirals out of control as the vehicle spins out, launching into a series of violent flips. The car eventually comes to a rest on its side, and in a shocking twist, the driver is ejected through the side window and thrown into the water.

Without a seatbelt, he was thrown from his flipping SUV, soaring roughly 16 feet through the air before landing in the shallow water of the Persian Gulf. Despite performing his several flips, the man emerged with only minor injuries, limping away from the scene. The car, however, wasn't as fortunate and was later towed away by local fire services.
