Behind the Bricks: Motorsports Safety Training

[@charlieboyd4431]

thanks for doing a video about us. we don't get much recognition of our work at the track.

[@Capt-Hook]

Appreciate it, great job. Stay safe. Glad we got you.

[@charlieboyd4431]

@@Capt-Hook Thanks!!!

[@ku4uv]

Thanks to the safety crew for all your hard work!

[@jasoncamps77]

I'm probably one of the few that can say I've been both a safety worker at IMS and a competitor there, too, and knowing how well trained the team is made me feel extremely safe when I was on track. That goes for the EMTs and the marshalls, too. Everyone's at a higher level in Indy. I'd bet my life on these folks.

[@jamestomlin8060]

Just as a fan, as an outsider, I think IMS and IndyCar safety are tip top. I have watched almost 50 years worth of motorsports and the advances in that time are remarkable. Thanks to you and your team for all you do.

where is the Clifford t-shirt at i want it right now

[@v12tommy]

That's awesome. I'm glad to see the little S-10 is still around. It was always my favorite during clean ups. I wanted an S-10 way back when, and when i bought my Corvette, the Weld Evo Andro "phone dial" wheels were really popular.

[@charlieboyd4431]

Clifford is our special little truck. It will outlive all of us.

[@mountcomfort740]

I am so ready for May

[@Alcochaser]

The S10 sweeper has been there I think as long as I have been coming!

[@charlieboyd4431]

Old Clifford is an icon of the track. And it’s cool that I get to work with it.

​@charlieboyd4431 that's AWESOME and how did you go about it and also how would I be able to work track rescue

[@charlieboyd4431]

@@iuaump4 its a cool experience. and if you want to join i think you would need a fire/EMS background. i am not for sure but most of us work at fire departments as our normal jobs.

To get in I think you need a fire/ems background. That’s how I got in.

Ah the little S-10 sweeper truck has a name! And TEN THOUSAND MILES! Ahhhhhhh! The safety measures the professionals train for are really neat to learn about, don't get me wrong. Thankful that IMS has all those folks. BUT CLIFFORD! YESSSSS

[@charlieboyd4431]

you didn't know Clifford had a name!!! its a great little truck and its gonna be here for a long time.

[@charlieboyd4431]

You should make a Clifford diecast

[@huntersmith4079]

CLIFFORD!!!!! No way!!!!!!

[@esciteach7997]

it's 2024 and you are just doing this now? been watching Indy 500 for 30+ years . . no wonder it ( crashes/accidents) and rescue looked so "haphazard" for the last 30 years. Sometimes we fans would be screaming at the TV: during one crash we watched, one driver wasn't moving during a dangerous impact yet no safety personnel were there, yet there were 3 safety p. at a car where the driver extricated himself and walked himself to safety truck.

[@charlieboyd4431]

we have done training for years. and AMR is the ones that are allowed to touch the driver. we are there for safety and clean up and if a car sets on fire we are there. all medical stuff is on AMR.
