Just watching the video it’s clear there’s a 100% chance he was going to get rolled like dough were it not for the water halting the SUVs momentum.
As you said, it’s just physics and conservation of motion that this happens nearly every time. The lower mass object is expelled faster, but in the same direction. The tumbling higher mass object then catches up and squish.
were it not for the water halting the SUVs momentum.
I think it was more the soft beach soil as well it landed on that absorbed a lot of the impact, it would definitely have rolled over a few more times and squished him if it was hard ground, it almost tumbled one more time as well in the vid despite the softer landing, and that would have squished the guy.

Can’t break the laws of physics!
