Guy drives off Grand Canyon rim, survives and self-rescues

Pretty crazy story. Guy drives over the edge of the Grand Canyon - accidentally, apparently - car rolls/crashes 200 feet down the rim and smashes against a tree right before going over another cliff. Guy then extricates himself from the wreckage and crawls/climbs back up to the road to get help. Suffered only minor injuries.

Chance certainly plays a role in survival, but you can't count on fate coming out in your favor, though. This guy, by the odds, should probably be dead. Pretty lucky.
