I want to thank John Godfrey, CAPE, and any and everybody else who was involved with this project for starting to study what happens to us drivers in an open wheel crash...I am sure there won't be any world changing technology that comes from this first session but it's a start and I am sure there was info collected to build on in the future.


I would love to see the next phase done with various head and neck restraint systems and some sort of repeatable, multi angle crash. Combine the accelerometer info from the helmet with the high speed video slowed down and you could get a great understanding of how well the various devices keep the drivers head in place.

Surely there's plenty of us out there with old slightly bent chassis that could be donated for such a test.
