Horrible. Not a good way to go


Oh my, that is absolutley horrible! Signs of Alex Zanardi, except he is still alive...alot more fortunate.

The idea of ejector seats is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Even if they had parachutes they could still land on the track. Yea, lets see a person get hit at 216mph rather than a car. Not cool. This is racing, it will never ever be safe. They have been making alot of progress with soft walls and the Hans device but the only way to lessen the chance of drivers getting hurt is to considerably lower the speeds, and that will never happen because its called racing. Drivers know the chance of something happening to them and they accept it. Bottom line, it'll never be safe.
