Indycar 2017 big crash bourdais

[@wolfbanger2124]

huge crash, the safer barrier saved his life for sure, with that head on angle. The advancement of safety they have implemented over the last 20yrs have save many lives.

similar impact to senna's death in 94, only faster, big advancements indeed.

reminiscent of Gordon Smiley in 82 thank God for the safer barriers I was amazed when he moved in the car

[@stevestiff5688]

Reminds me of the Gordon Smiley crash, which was fatal. Thank goodness the leg areas and the car body in general are better protected now than in 1982. Gordon's crash was in turn 3, instead of turn 2.

Similar accident in the 1982 indy 500 with Gordon Smiley who died in the fatal accident. R.I.P GORDON SMILEY - 15/05/1982 Poly Day

Kind of reminds me of the Smiley accident back in '82. Of course Gordon was killed in that wreck. The advancements in safety measures are incredible!

[@rdfox76]

Thank god and science for SAFER barriers; without them, I'm pretty sure Bourdais would be dead.

[@Sarge-R1]

you right about that that was a hard hit

[@lonecrapshooter67]

you are so correct, gob bless he was okay. Thanks to whoever invented the SB

[@Space_math.engineer]

at over 200mph in open car man he is lucky that new wall is there

[@kellytuttle4712]

Wow! talk about great engineering! if you want to see whaf would happen without the barriers and the advances in the cars themselves, look up the Gordon Smiley crash. R.I.P. Gordo...

[@rayb7414]

Why are there tyre tracks already headed in the direction his car took?

[@212809]

ray b - He ain't the only one who crashed there. Lot of guys crashed there in the practice sessions.
