Yeah this is bad crash, graphic, not in blood and gore, but what you know the driver just went through and the utter utter ineptitude of the safety staff.

EDIT:- This is not the version that shows the other driver in the badly on fire car get dragged out and then the safety staff being....hopeless.

I remember this one (without even watching the clip above) they pretty much drag him from the car and leave him on the road. Poor bugger is rolling around, trying to stand up, clearly in heaps of pain and no one is even assisting him.

I do believe he survived though ... very lucky if he did.

:shock: Thats insane. It's beyond me how he could have survived, but if he did, would he have wanted too? The crash alone would be enough to kill you but the burns...............pretty terrible to think about.

How long ago was this?

Yep ... apparently. I'd say he was banged up pretty bad though.

His helmet was melted to his face but he lived and this one accident ensured racing safety was overhauled worldwide. He successfully sued the organisers for $800'000 (wanted 30 mill) even though they had made all drivers to sign waivers.
