His chances are very slim though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard both his legs are broken/ crushed, 2 broken vertebrae, serious gashs in his face, they were unsure of how his internals were, but he had blown up from all the swelling. The car was making 600hp and it was the owner driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 5m 5d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 12/02/12 11:06 AM Share Posted 12/02/12 11:06 AM Yeah but it would've been the force that his organs decelerated inside his body that caused his problem.. While this is a race car don't make the mistake of thinking it would be running any of the safety features of a V8 super car or F1.. Low level racing regardless of 'safety requirements' are still quite dangerous cars.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
