Had to Google this one (Mark Webber 2010 crash for the curious).

Good lord, I can't believe he survived that. Those machines are built to crash and walk away from.

Just last year, a similar incident happened to Fernando Alonso. He spectacularly managed to land his car, continued with minor damage and secured a P7. Then the FIA tried to take it away from him for a regulation breach but his team protested and they kept the result.

Concerning Mark Webber. These kinda airborne crashes happened to him not just once but twice (afaik)
