Its not about how fast you are going when you crash, its how fast you stop. Not that tumbling at speed is a good thing but it way better than a sudden stop. Glad he walked away from it. The roll cage and his helmet did a fine job as well.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
