One of the best worst crash channels on this site, with a lot of stuff i've never seen before. Keep up the great work!

It's amazing how most of the drivers in these horrific accidents walk away unharmed or only with minor injuries and other drivers get really hurt or even pass away in "stupid" or "avoidable" incidents. It really puts in perspective that luck plays a mayor factor when it comes to motorsports crashes.

I wouldnt say it would be luck. I think Its more physics really. A lot of these crashes theres a lot of pieces flying off the cars, which means a ton of energy is being dissipated without the driver directly taking it. Theres more to it but this is already long enough. Sorry for the "erm actually" 👆🤓comment

Are you comparing Motorsport to normal car crashes?

1:09 the driver is Achim Zumtobel miraculously he only suffered a broken knee 2:10 his full name is Marc Delpierre, it was during the 1990 Dutch Formula Ford championship at Zandvoort

Some wild crashes here. 3:56 just a point of interest. Manfred went on to race until August 1985 where he crashed in turn 2 at Mosport Park north of Toronto. I was flag marshal for the next corner on that day. A helicopter was brought in to air lift him. We found out later that he’d succumbed to his injuries.

@AlauahioMS

Because the cab wasn't crushed, it held up.

I knew Danny Drinan (2nd clip :36 second mark) back then from photographing open wheel racing. After he'd recovered, I saw him working on his car at a race and he showed me all the scars on his forearms from where they'd been thrown outside his roll-cage by the centrifugal forces caused by the violent rolling and the surgeries he'd had. I told him how much the news and video had scared me, and he kinda chuckled and said "Scared YOU?". From what I remember hearing right after the accident, he wasn't breathing and had no pulse when responders got to him, but they got him resuscitated pretty quickly. He probably saved his own life, because instead of one of the major chassis builders' cages, he was driving his own product. Drinan chasses were built extremely strong. A pic of the one involved in this crash stripped down to just the chassis itself showed it had only been bent an inch or so out of square. Three or four years after that crash at the Springfield mile, Danny was again badly injured in a practice session crash at Indianapolis.

No matter what level of Motorsports we're in , planes, boats motorcycles, trucks or cars there's always gonna be high speed violent crashes that sometimes cause injuries and or death. That's something we live with as we strive to make our sport more safer and yet still exciting. I've had some brutal wrecks to on a little dirt track I'm my hometown where I grew up. I hope the drivers in this video came out ok.

How did Alboreto just stepped out his car mike nothing happened? Thats insane.

The first crash... 14 surgeries and fractures? As an F1 fan of 2024, this is insane!! Safety improved so much in the last years... This looked like he barely scratched the wall.

That is the worst crash I've seen in truck racing, the whole cab ripped from the chassis

The Ginetta accident at Oulton Park was Hunter Abbott

Berger crashed here already 1989 where his car set fire. After albiretos crash senna and berger went there to see what they can change on the track to make it more save. After they see behind the wall there was a river flowing they just think theres no way to remove the wall and went back to the pits. Sadky they didnt think of a chicane like we see today in tamburello…

I remember reading about it in Autosport. Michele talked about having seven stitches in his leg from a cut, which in Italian is "punti", the same as points....so he joked he was 3rd in the world championship. I'd seen photos but had never seen video until this day. More violent than Senna's crash, the Brazilian was very unlucky that a piece of suspension pierced his helmet and his skull causing the fatal brain injury.

For part 3 you should include Ryan Preece’s crash at Daytona in August 2023.

1:10 this one is insane the fact that he ran over his own loose tire

It wasn't "Tom Ginetta" it was Hunter Abbott driving a Ginetta

5:38 Michele Alboreto teve a sorte que o Senna não teve em 1994

I have seen 2:50 quite a few times in crash montages... & not once did I know that Bruno Junquiera was one of the drivers in that. 😖

Some nasty ones here. Tho I'm surprised you don't have a couple of the worst from Bristol. I forget the more recent one, but check out Michael Waltrip going partway through the access gate in 1990.

I often go to the track in my car just for fun, but watching this constantly reminds me the dangers of this sport.

His Porsche Carrera 6 was totalled and he suffered a fractured knee. There is an interview with him at his home after the accident. Search for his name and 'Salzburgring crash' and you will find it.

John Mickle raced in junior ministox at the same time as me (both spedeworth).Only john was good at it,and i was rubbish at it!.1980's.

WTF. The first one is from 2003 and there isn't any runoff area there and no tire walls at all! At least there should have been a chicane before a curve like that.

I think that as a fair tribute to the drivers, the information should clarify whether they died in the accident, were left with injuries that did not allow them to continue competing, or were able to continue their normal lives and racing. Really very strong images that testify that in each category, the pilots literally risk their lives or physical integrity.
