Many head-on crashes at 200mph and the driver is unscathed..

All that is left of the car is the bathtub chassis. Everything else is gone..

Back to the 1st video I posted, you could do that a million times and no way will the runaway tire park itself on top of the tire wall and at such a perfect alignment with the rest..

This is by far the worst crash Ive ever seen someone survive. He was badly injured however and quit racing after this, but he did survive!
