safety barrier made the biggest difference I reckon, absorbed a FUCKLOAD of force!

@jaqua524 I’m not preaching I am merely stating that while the cars are safer now, there have been worse wrecks that people have walked away from. Rusty Wallace, Dale Earnhardt, Ernie Irvin were all in wrecks that were worse than Petty, Irwin and Earnhardt’s fatal crashes. You think thats an accident? You think that Petty’s throttle hung on accident? Why did Irwin, Petty, and Irwin die when the othera didn’t? God’s plan. Plain and simple.

@JimmythePlumber no…earnhardt died because he was old school, and chose not to wear the head and neck restraints and hans device..unfortunately, it was his own doing (rest in peace)..adam petty’s throttle stuck..head on impact, and the cars were not as safe back then in 1999…god didnt kill him..a little thing called the law of inertia did, same for irwin a year later..look..im get ur relious beliefs, i have my own opinions (kept to myself)..and its great that you have faith..dnt preach here

@dmr1988 did you read my entire comment? Yes NASCAR needs safety but it is ultimately God’s choicr who lives and dies. Earnhardt, Petty, and Irwin all died in lesser crashes. It was just God’s timing.

@JimmythePlumber Well with that thought why don’t they all race with no seatbelts, helmets and cars made of wood. Then god will decide who lives….moron.

@tjbrown97 Why don’t you do some research?
From wiki:The SAFER system was developed by engineers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln starting in 1998, sponsored by the Indy Racing League.
I accept your apology.

@AutoRacer5 no NASCAR developed with the help of University of Indiana. Do some research on it.

People can thank the safer barriers all they want. Don’t get me wrong, it is a much needed improvement. but God saved him in that wreck! People have lost their lives in much less. God has a plan for Michael’s life. Praise God for his safety!

The SAFER barrier was developed by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the University of Nebraska, and it was first brought up for Indy car racing, not NASCAR and ARCA.

lol 13 G’s rofl the guy said 130 G’s is more correct

Written by rockerboy2001 about 9 months ago.
It was a combo of everything that saved him from being seriously injured.

Written by leobold1 about 9 months ago.
Yeah, I think he meant 13 Gs, not 130.
IRL/CART did develop the HANS, but SAFER was made specifically for NASCAR and ARCA.
Both series did a lot to improve safety. I even saw a news spot that they’re thinking of putting in SAFER barriers in some of the IRL Road courses in the accident prone corners, just to be proactive.

that guy just took the ride of his life and those idiots keep bugging him with 20 million silly questions. that is so retarded.
by the way neither nascar nor the irl developed the hans device that was actually a project initiated by CART back in the days -
