What a great collection!! I would like to know which corner most of those incidents were filmed at. Its obviously a crowd pleaser.

I also like the Bug that rolled over at 6:56; I wonder if that was a can of soda or beer that burst when it fell on the ground. I'm guessing beer.

And regarding the seat belts, after I purchased my 1972 Datsun 240Z (in early '80's), I happend to find an original dealer brochure for it's year at a swap meet. One of the things advertised as "Standard" was seat belts.
