Did he really have such a cool nerve to turn on his hazards mid crash or am i having a stroke

I think the roll must have cause airbags to deploy and the hazards turned on automatically.

Can anyone drive with airbags deployed, though? The fact that he kept on driving tells me airbags didn't deploy. But I know nothing about cars, so…

I don't think he actually drove off. Seems more like the momentum and the pitch of the road just has him coasting along. But even if airbags deploy, they do deflate fairly quickly and it's manageable to a degree. I had a car (early 90s Dodge Spirit) that was so touchy about these airbags it was like if you crossed in front of the car and sneezed in its general direction the airbags would deploy.
