I don't know whats crazier, the ones where the're blatently dead before they hit the ground,
or the ones where they get thrown out, go sliding along the track, then get up and walk away like f*ck all's happened!

They had some balls on 'em back then, crash and your dead!

Mental vid!

Congratulations on A) managing to take a post about an accident occuring in the world of composite monocoque tubs & 12 point roll cages this far out of context and B) being bothered to find a video & make a thread about it

That video probably makes anyone who works in Health & Safety wet themselves...

some of the crashes when they get thrown out of the car and walk away are amazing, massive respect to them all... back in them days it was really 50/50 whether you would be coming back from a race in a coffin or not.

How lucky was the bloke jumping into car 29.Mental.

 

[Wick]

Puzzling why the roll bar apparently was non existent back in the day!

 

[lucasv1987]

Crazy vid. Certaintly had some balls back then

 

[Naith]

christ that was sobering.

 

[CIW]

Because, as mad as it seems, they weren't interested in being in the car if it rolled - because of the high risk of fire they wanted to be thrown well clear. Another age...

Wounder how many of those ended in a fatality :S And 2.22 did that guy get caught on the volley ?!
