Indy car CRASH [Highest G-force ever!]

Kenny Bräck survived 214 g's (on his official homepage you can read the following sentences: ...my car caught air at 220 mph, got air borne and smashed straight into a massive steel pole in the catch fence. The impact was enormous, but leaving the cockpit intact. It recorded a record 214 g impact and left me seriously injured...)

Comments

1. That "yellow flag" ticker came out at the exact moment the car hit the fence...that's the fastest reaction time to possibly ever throw a caution.
2. How.
3. Prolly the reason he survived is that his head and torso were at the gravitational center of the rotation of the cockpit. After all, foot bones penetrated his flesh, skin and even shoes.
   Still, Kenny Brack is one tough badass to survive this.
4. Now, was this 214 g at the impact? Or was the 214 g's peaked during the rotational spin?
5. and people want to travel at light speed which would strain your body to millions of G's per star trek way. To make light speed hardly survivable at 65G's it would require a slow acceleration to light speed over the time of 35 days
6. Eliot Sadler, holds the record for the hardest hit in nascar, i believe it was around 100G's. I think the spinning motion of this crash added allot of G's though. Sadler's was a head on collision with a armco barrier at pocono with enough force to separate the entire engine from the car and send it flying several 100 feet away
7. This is how black holes form
8. wow.
9. damn this video is so old
10. 214 g on the CHASSIS, which is a VERY rigid structure.
11. In comparison, the gravity you'd feel on the surface of the Sun would only be 28g... AND KENNY SURVIVED 214G.
12. They act like that the sport doesn't revolve around crashes.
13. remember Danil Kvyat's crash at susaka in october? that was 11g. this is 20 TIMES higher g than that...
14. This is how I will teleport in the future :D
15. Shit happens. Amazing he survived.
16. That guy can celebrate his 2nd birthday.
17. See Kenny on youtube: Goodwood 2013,Kenny Brack in the wild GT40
18. I actually have his autograph :p
19. I don't think there were 214G's applied to his body because he was almost in the center of mass which means that the zentrifugal force didn't directly hit him with 214G's.
20. The Challenger astronauts were alive when their crew compartment hit the water at over 200G's too.   Though, not afterwards.
