NASCAR's Most Insane Helmet Cam First Person Crashes 3

Experience Bubba Wallace's fiery Daytona 500 crash, amazing near miss of Joey Logano's flying car at Talladega, and many other's close calls and hard hits from the first person point of view helmet-mounted on board camera!

No comments on how well built these cars are?! That’s insane that these people are getting in wrecks well over 100mph and their bodies don’t move but a few inches on impact and are completely okay to race in another car tomorrow.

[@Trillogical]

Have to thank the racing seats, belts & the HANS system. The forces acting on their bodies, especially their necks are insane

[@mcshrank3557]

Part of what helps is that they're not crashing into barriers that stop them dead. There's usually several collisions accompanied by the high friction of the tires from spinning out, so the force needed to stop is more distributed over several seconds.

[@gabewest305]

That’s a 5 point racing harness for you

[@CalebBoender]

Naw man they are going over 200mph

[@SobboMonkeVR]

They're using the HANS System. It's quite literally a chain strapped to the back of your helmet, which prevents neck damage

[@jonlayman6790]

Surprises me in these videos he still holds on to the steering wheel even when he knows he’s lost it, usually in INDYCAR and F1 they let go because it can break you hands.

[@IndyGuest]

NASCAR wheels don't typically jerk around as hard when they wreck so it's usually fine to grip and brace for impact. Indycars however don't have any power steering so yeah those will break your hands and wrists

[@dfrmotorsports4591]

Direct steering vs power steering, power steering will remove 90% of the shock on impact vs direct steering

[@Toxic2T]

@@dfrmotorsports4591 Today I learned something new. Thank you.

[@sntslilhlpr6601]

@@Toxic2T TBH I doubt it makes that much of a difference. Most power steering setups still have a direct mechanical link from the steering wheel to the front wheels. Having to push fluid out of the way (or move electronic motors) may slow it down a little bit, but I highly doubt it's 90%. F1 cars have power steering and you still see them let go of the wheel in a crash. Most of the difference we're seeing is probably due to open-wheel cars vs closed-wheel. Big difference between the wheel taking all the impact vs the chassis taking most of it. Plus these cars are tough. Way tougher than, say, a GT3 car, and there's much more of a benefit from continuing to have some modicum of control after impact on a superspeedway than a regular circuit. I'm no expert, and I'm really just speculating so take what I say with a grain of salt. But I do know that 90% crap is bs and there's something else going on here.

[@Nathan-oq7qb]

@@sntslilhlpr6601 Nono, f1 and Stock cars do have power steering so you don't need to let go, f1 they let go but they do really need to, Indy cars do not have power steering so they should let go of the wheel to avoid broken fingers/wrist

[@darthkrator9366]

If roll cages can keep drivers this safe at those speeds then I believe that roll cages need to be implemented into regular vehicles in some way.

[@rappit4]

Then you would need to wear helmets, racing seats with 5 point harnesses and a HANS device every time you drive your car. That is why regular cars dont have rollcages

[@ironnads7975]

Then you would be the first to complain about the price of cars going even higher, and then complain about how there is no room inside of the car

[@AntaresSQ01]

They are. That's the reason you have A,B and C pillars, roof and cross rails and not cloth or wood tops like in the 1910s.

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

I think modern cars are doing pretty darned well for themselves on the crash safety front as it is, without needing a full roll cage. Especially compared to how vehicles performed just 20 or 30 years ago. Sure, there's always more improvements to be made - I'll give you that. But considering you can even survive a crash at 60 or 70mph with relatively few injuries these days, when the first vehicle I was in when I was little - a little 1985 Austin Metro - you'd probably die in a 40 or 50mph crash, I'd say things have already come a very long way indeed. That car didn't even have decent seatbelts, nevermind airbags or crumple zones (heck, I think the entire car _was_ the crumple zone lol)

I think NASCAR really does their sport a disservice by focusing so much on overhead coverage. The sport is so intense and an overhead camera just reduces it to “driving in circles” when it’s really so much more than just that.

U can change the dash theres the default one, actual gauges and then a third one, you can change it in the garage or while in the car in one of the Black Box menus. It’s also a control option to bind a button to change the dash display that also works with most cars that have digital displays
