This video shows how nasty Rico's flip at Angell Park was. To only leave with a broken collar bone is astonishing. I think the safety in these cars is better than people give them credit for. In the video it shows how well the car itself stayed together. I don't race, but I have a feeling the HANS device may be the reason for the broken collar bone. Does anything know for sure if those provide a better chance of a broken collar bone due to it coming down the front of the body? Obviously you would rather have a broken collar bone than a spinal injury. These are the kind of videos the critics should see before immediately stating that midget and sprint car racing is unsafe. It's racing, and anytime you drive on the edge accidents will happen. I apologize if anyone else has already posted this.
