fun fact: look closely and you can see his arm hanging out and his legs fall out at the end of the crash

May 13th, 1994? I was only 2 months at the time.
But that dude was indeed lucky to survive running diagonally into a wall at 280 mph.
Basically what you need instead of a track is a square. So if you lose the racing straight line you don't crash into a barrier, you just head in a different direction. All drag racing crashes occur because the racer loses the line. The solution is to not have a physical line but a square, with the lines painted on.
I remember watching this at age 13 ans scared me so badly. At age 23 now, it still frightens me
2020 anyone?
Freddy Krueger wasn’t happy that day
Richard Hammond
He almost died
That guys lucky to be alive
The guard wall saved him..
ARE THOSE CARS INSURED AT ALL . I MEAN IF THEY SHOULD KILL SOME BODY . THIS AINT SHIT , WATCH THE YELLOW RIVER DRAG STRIP RACE IN GEORGIA , 1969. IT WENT INTO THE STANDS AND PEOPLE GOT KILLED .
Dame I was there for it
If I have died in a crash!!!!!!
It's kinda scary that it was on Friday the 13th.
i just noticed this was posted 15 days before me was born
Tough son of a bitch and a hell of a built car!
Blocks still good though.
Ok, this video was made in 2008 and in my opinion, an even worse accident took place at Texas in 2005, I think you now know what I'm talking about, Bruce Allen and Kenny Koresky had an even worse crash before this video was published soooooooooo, I don't think this is the worse Dragster crash in history…but of course, we all have our own opinions so I'm not saying its no doubt not the worst Dragster crash in history
Jason on Friday the 13TH😈😈😈
dumb–ass ~
The friday 13th curse also aplys to black cats….John Parry Thomas, who was decapitated by the wheel chain of his car "Babs" in early speed trials in the 20's had rejected all charms as hocus….until a little girl gave him a black cat neclace type charm….he obliged her ….being kind and all…and omfg did he cop it….(speed machines–land speed records vid)….i'll stick to good shoes as my lucky charm thanx.
Omgg is the driver ok?????
The evolution of the old head shearing post rail system,to the aluminum light rail system,…better to disparate the energy and that was almost a full head on impact into the rail,….they need concrete to protect the crowd and officials after that terrain determines everything! But longer,flatter,dirt n sand,…catch fence maybe. I remember back in the 70’s a lot of small towns had there own drag tracks……safety was done by the fire dept. beat having kids doing it on Friday nights on public roads,…sponsored by the school usually with shop class,…ANYBODY ELSE? Anywho insurance KILLED that idea.
2018 anyone
HOW IS HE ALIVE!
Unreal
Legend has it, you can see Jason in the background
Is in no way the worst. The driver survived. It may be the most visually spectacular, but not worst. The worst would be ones where drivers lost their lives.
OMG!!!WTF?
No where near the worst I’ve seen worse with my own eyes
Flat out lucky on that one. He could of easily broke his back or neck.
From what i see, if the wall was concrete it would have completely flattend the car on impact. The fact that he blew through hit with such ease may be why he survived.
Drag racing is stupid in 3.. 2..
You havent seen Dale Emerys drag racing crash did u?
What caused the car to lose control in the first place?
He needed that ejecto seato
holy crap
haaaaaaaw
Cleanup on aisle 3
Friday 13th…
It is worst crash where driver survived, but not the worst in drag racing history. I know one jet powered dragster went into wall and ended in small bits. That was worst.
