Holy ********************, that's the worst safety crew action I've ever seen. I can't believe how they ignored someone who had just gone through that and was rolling around on the ground in both shock and agony. Then, they let him stand up and help him walk around? You've got to be kidding me. WHen I saw the first one, I assumed it was a left hand drive car. I din't realize this was in Japan and the devastation was on teh driver's side. That's one lucky driver, to have not been killed.
My first reaction to the comment that he sued the track and won was revulsion. As a competitor, we all take the risk that every time we put on the suit and strap in, it may be the last, or we may wish it had been. To sue over the risks that we knowingly take turns my stomach, but in this case I must agree, the safety crew was totally derelict in their training and actions.
Our SCCA volunteer safety crews and corner workers are the best. I thank them every chance I get and do this with them every Saturday evening, at the track.
