Even though the commentators said it was a big hit the accident didn't look as bad as others I have seen where the guys have walked away. To me there was something strange about it like the Denny Hulme crash at Bathurst in '92. Maybe he had a heart attack or something. I guess I'll wait for a report from the coroner before judging 10 seconds of news footage. As for the airbags, I think they are a bit impractical for motorsport as they have been tested for F1 but haven't been adopted. Better restraint systems like the HANS system are probably the way to go.
