The key was to get a grip on the door latch preimpact, so that you maintained your orientation as you inverted and went in the water.
Wouldn't doing this be an unfortunate way to render that door inoperable, if you end up ripping off the door latch on impact? Finding a grab handle makes sense, but not the actual latch.
