That would be my best guess also. Since air bags are designed to immediately inflate, then deflate, upon being triggered by the sensors, it's not hard to imagine that the "barrel rolls" (with the bags deflated) allowed his legs to flail around while tumbling. It's also possible that his left leg was against the door, thus reducing the flailing, while his right one was less secure. After seeing the massive damage to the car, he is lucky that he is still alive and is in my opinion, a real testament to modern day cars and their safety designs, features and crush zones.
