Cars crash, trucks crash, motorcycles crash, and drag racers crash. Good advice, “Stay back.” These crashes are dangerous, and it takes a pro to walk away in one piece. The side rails may not look strong, but they can take an amazing beating. Some, make it all the way down the track and crash while putting on the brakes, which seems to be the case, more often, when a chute isn’t deployed. Some drag racers look as if they’re going to overturn out of the block. Again, it seems to happen when the brakes are applied.
Notice how the maintenance crew speeds out to a crash. That takes guts as well. There could be an explosion so they’re risking their lives as well. All cars that can clock 150 mph are required to have and use parachutes. Sometimes, chutes fail to deploy when they haven’t been used. Check out the videos. Awesome crashes, and the good thing is the drivers all walk away.
