Nasty Indy Car Crash At Weekend

[Spirit]

I saw this on CBS news, but see it's been doing the email rounds today.

" Incredible scenes at the end of this years Indy 500. While the leaders tried to save fuel to finish the race, Mike Conway has one of the most horrendous accidents at Indy. He made contact with Ryan Hunter Reay and gets launched into the air, flies into the catchfence. The car disintegrates and Mike Conway survives..."

Just a broken leg apparantly ! Amazing !

Wow what a lucky man. Wander what was going through Ryan Hunter Reay's mined when he was looking at the car flying in front of him.

Demonstrates how impressively safe modern racing cars are - see how the car gradually disintegrates as the crash progresses, absorbing and diverting so much of the shock away from the driver. Following driver must have been trying to duck! :o
