geez, i was wondering, shit.. i cant see anyone get out . that was hardout engulfed:O

Damn he is lucky to be alive, good choice of music makes the video stronger and more emotional somehow.

Lycanthrope · 24th June 2008, 11:10 PM

Jeez, they seem to be more interested in saving the cars than the drivers.. clip at 2.30 where they pull him out with a completely toasted helmet, then just leave him lying there, and he staggers around and falls over. WTF is with that? I understand the need to control the fire, prevent explosions with the race gas and all that, but there seemed to be plenty of other people on the scene by then..

DURTYEF3 · 24th June 2008, 11:11 PM

^^ yeah lol, if that guy from the other car didnt stop and use his extinguisher on that guy, he would have surely been bbq'd alive.

old. didnt he get left with some form of walking disability?

fr3ek · 25th June 2008, 03:38 PM

Reminds me of a V8 Supercar incident at Oran Park, must be 10 years ago now. But the V8 Supercar safety people were a bit more organised.

he lost some use of his right arm and won compensation from the organisers/officials

Holy shit, that's intense.

As said can't believe they left the driver to just hang around by himself! There should have been someone there pinning him to the ground until a medic could check him out.

shoulda been put on his side so the visor didnt fall onto his face

broken_ITR · 27th June 2008, 12:19 AM

Omg.
^^^ Do you mean melt and fall on his face?! Ouch!!!

I watched the whole 8minutes something, never thought 2 gas tanks could make such an explosion

NZRacerX · 28th June 2008, 04:32 PM

Made my girlfriend cry.
I wasn't far off either.

Green Machine · 28th June 2008, 06:24 PM

thats suck a well made video, almost makes you emotional seeing someone suffer like that. amazing how they seem more interested in the cars than helping the people.

And I thought my rolling off a back road and down into a valley was scary. Turns out being in a car suspended by branches does not beat being in a car engulfed in flames.

And yeah, the rescue seemed a bit lax.
