Mark Dismore's crash at Indy was similar to Smiley's, but Mark survived, I just happened to be there when Sach's and McDonald crashed, and still have an 8mm reel of it, somewhere, I know where it is, but I am not going to view it anymore, I never even took it out of the camera. Sometimes, nothing will help, other times, you just go on, I still am not sure if I would "mandate" any particular safety device, some folks think that is a guarantee of safety, but try explaining that to a judge and jury, arm restraints, belts, and a helmet/neck support should be the minimum, as well as the heat related items, but IMHO a Hans device, without a helmet support, and tethers so loose you can look beside you, aren't any better than the least you can get by with, which makes me wonder about the judge and jury aspect.
