How unfortunate can you get?
I remember the Sioux City crash when emergency crews thought 'what are all these people doing out here.' not realizing they where passengers thrown clear or had got out.

"Thrown clear" is a phrase you don't see much anymore. "Ejected from the vehicle" is more common, with the (generally correct) connotation of hitting the ground hard enough to cause problems ranging from sore knees (BTDT-low speed motorcycle crash) or road rash (also BTDT-fairly high speed bicycle crash) up to and including death.
Looks like pilot error to me. It usually is in a commercial aviation mishap.
