Default Nurburgring pain

This is in-car from an airborne wreck at the ring... incredibly vicious. I cringed up at the sound of silence for the second or two as the car is flying before it hits. Ouch...

It didn't look like that guy was going fast enough to tumble so much. At least the driver seems no worse for the ride.

He would have at least been pretty bruised up after that... you can hear the shakiness & pain in his voice at times when he's talking. That's some crazy stuff...

That split second of silence before he hit the earth must have felt like forever.

Haggard roll. Cage seemed to do its job however.

You don't recall that you only have to be going 45-50MPH to roll like that? Especially is you have crazy satanic nitrogen in your tires.
