Drag Racing Accident

As drag racing becomes more popular, the development of the vehicles becomes more demanding. With the need for a light chassis, racing tyres, rear spoiler and a modified jet engine this speedy sport can be a little risky.

As the car starts off it looks completely in control. As it gets towards the end of the course and deploys its parachute the lightweight car becomes completely out of control due to the rapid deceleration. As it skids the tyre bursts so the driver cannot regain control, crashing into the sides exploding and flipping at the same time. To begin with I did not think there was anyone in the car but as they slowed the video down the legs of the man inside was shown falling out of the car at the end. All i can say is OUCH!
