Somewhat spectacular crash at this year's Indy 500

Shows how strong racing cars are built today - largely thanks (I understand) to the efforts of Max Mosley.Mike Conway survived, albeit with broken leg and torn ligaments and tendons.

Very interesting to note that Mike, and those who came first, second and third, are all British :cool:

The guy in the red car behind came pretty close to having his head taken clean off :w00t:

Wow, some amazing on board footage there… glad no one was killed or maimed.

That is some astonishing footage! And as you say with the improvements to driver safety he is alive. Think the safety improvements came not from Max Mosley (he who likes weird nazi spanking sessions), but more from the F1 Driver association that was set up in the wake of Senna and Ratzenburger deaths at the Italian GP which forced through changes to safety.
