Dang getting the car unhooked from the fence was scarier then the flip!

Wow, he's lucky that cable snapping didn't take his head off! Why in the world would the driver get up there and do that? Isn't that what the safety/track crew is for?

Exactly what I was thinking. backing off that torsion arm bolt could have been real bad.

Track workers/officials should have had a better handle of that situation and Never allowed driver to interfere with car extraction from fencing. Recipe for disaster.

Way to many people out on the track that could have been hit if the car came loose from the fence. Looks like they through caution to the fence.

Simply put, some people are "Doers" that get s*^t done. While others, just sit and watch a video of the "Doer" getting s*^t done, and then proceed to tell you how they could have done it better.
