Doctor Diagnoses Unreal Racing Crashes

Gorsjean not only survived 160mph crash, but he stayed in the flames for 27seconds. That's just amazing how much safety in racing sports developed.

as a F1 fan, ı watched Grosjean's crash live and those seconds were like years. He was one of the luckies. We have lost great pilots during the races

You talking about how a sudden stop is the worst reminded me of a Quote from Jeremy Clarkson: "Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you."

Most people don’t realise that F1 drivers are for the most part almost superhuman levels in fitness being able to withstand an INSANE amount of g’s and can withstand 50g’s for a few seconds at a time and stay conscious and minimal damage, aswell as there mental fitness and being able to spend so much time in extreme heat conditions Romain cemented his name in motorsport history as “The phoenix” a badass name for a badass driver

Here’s kind of a sad fact: Romain Grosjean was actually very close to just staying down in the car because he was at peace with dying. He said something along the lines of he had accomplished everything he had wanted, and he was at peace with death, but then realized that he has a family that is more than likely watching him at that moment so he decided to fight for them and get out of the car.

I really think you should interview Grosjean (he has a YouTube channel) not just about his crash and his recovery, the burns were worse than they initially thought, but also his experiences with going to a sports psychologist and how it has helped him over the years. He is a really articulate guy. As for how they don't get knocked out in F1 a lot of it is down to the HANS device although it isn't perfect and if they have a crash exceed a certain level of force they are automatically sent to the medical centre for evaluation regardless of how they are feeling

For some reason, I love when any YouTuber I know mentions my favorite sport. It's just an unusual feeling

That first one was absolutely insane. Miracle that he survived.

Racing suits usually are fire protectant for about 30 seconds. Grosjean was in there for 27 seconds. It's crazy that he survived this horrific crash. He is now in IndyCar.

I was watching Bahrain 2020 live, I really thought I had just witnessed somebody die instantly. The fact that Grosjean survived with relatively minor injuries is truly truly a miracle and a testament of the safety features that these cars have nowadays.

The way Mike is just like “ you’re brain sits in ✨soup✨”

When I was studying to be a paramedic, one of our professors played us a video about the rapid response teams to the isle of man tt. Incredible video about trauma from high-speed accidents.

One of the scariest things about Grosjean’s crash is that the height of his body and the design of the barrier means that if not for the Halo device, he would’ve probably been decapitated by the barrier at that speed.

Grosjean crash was just lots of emotions for everyone. It could almost have been a fatal crash. In an interview, Grosjean said that when he first hit the barriers he struggled to exit the cockpit and almost gave up. He thought about his family and started to fight his way out of the car. That's why the reason he walked to the ambulance, he wanted to show his family that he is ok

You know, I’m one of the biggest F1 addicts so I’ve seen roman’s crash many time but every time it still amazes me when I see him get out of the flames like it was nothing

"Speed doesn't kill, suddenly becoming stationary does" - Jeremy Clarkson

Last year at Silverstone, Zhou Guanyu had an INSANE crash. His car flipped multiple times, skidded across the gravel upside down, then smashed against the barrier, went airborne again, then his car got jammed between the barrier and catch fence. He probably wouldn't have survived that if not for the halo. He ended up just walking away with nothing but some minor bruising. I'm so glad the safety in F1 has seriously increased.

Grosjeans crash was horrifying to watch live. I was immediately his with flashbacks of Bianchi's fatal crash. Was an absolute miracle that Grosjean survived.

This video brings back memories of my dad and grandparents watching NASCAR races every Sunday afternoon when I was growing up. Geoff Bodine was my dad's favorite driver. My grandma was a Bill Elliot fan. Her brother was a Dale Earnhardt fan. I remember when Dale Earnhardt died in a crash back in either 2000 or 2001. The crazy thing about it is that the crash that took his life wasn't even that bad. Nothing like the ones in this video! His head was jerked forward during the impact in a way that it killed him instantly.

I used to watch Robert Wikens race in the DTM. The second I saw his crash come up, I knew that everyone wasn't going to be "perfectly fine" in this video. That's really rough. Great video, it's interesting to hear more of the medical side.
