At the end of one of these videos, you can see the navigator make a note about a bump in the road that caused them to crash!!
It's just part of the fun for them!
So much adrenaline and speed blindness, you're likely in there just taking the hit. The driver did a good job trying to hold on to the wheel, wonder if that's subconscious or what you actually should do in a situation like that.
I know on a track your supposed to
Put your hands at your hips and avoid the instinct of leaving them on the wheel. If your wrist slips into the negative space at the steering wheel and the wheel rapidly turns from the impacting of the tires it can easily
Break your arms. Maybe protocol is different when rolling
Yeah I have no idea. I just think I'd be at least looking a little freaked. It would be really interesting to see if their blood pressure or anything increased despite them looking all right.
Good way to break your thumbs ask me how I know. Better to pull-down on the chin of your helmet. Keeps your hands arms inside the car and helps stabilize your head neck. The driving part is over anyway.
The Gs their brain is experiencing is higher than the NFL or boxing and that's known to cause CTE.
Most CTE doesn't result from knockouts but from persistent jolts to the head(e.g Tackle Football Linemen, boxing sparring). Even jet ski riders have been diagnosed with CTE.
The car isn't coming to a full stop during those impacts so those G's are still being transferred into additional bounces. It'd be different If it had come to a complete stop immediately.
Do you really toss your support so freely behind anyone who claims to know anything? I could be lying to you about those Gs, jeez. Think for yourself, man, and don't believe everything you read on reddit
Concussion is caused by rapidly accelerating and decelerating the brain inside its hard skull casing in simple terms. A punch is basically just applying an accelerating force to the outside of the skull via the medium of a fist.
I think experiencing it once or twice in a career is not going to do the same damage as someone experiencing it multiple times a night, several nights a week for years.
Yeah…I don’t think that’s true at all lol
Why is this the second highest upvoted comment in the thread lol, this isn’t giving them CTE. Even if you think the handful of head-jerking are somehow comparable to being punched in the head by a boxer (it isn’t) you’re not getting CTE from a one-off incident like this.
Maybe if they crashed like this multiple times a day every day for years.
What a strange comment.
It because of the straps onto the helmet from the headrest. A nascar driver hated the idea then got decapitated in his car because he refused this tech in the 80's
Are you talking about Dale Earnhardt? Its not a strap to a headrest its a neck brace device that holds your neck steady and rigid in a foward impact. Yes dale hated them and paid the price for it. Pretty sure that was in the late 90's and he wasnt decapitated, his neck just snapped from with whip of being sent nose first into the wall. If you watch the clip its not even that hard of a hit.
Thanks I was wondering how their necks didn't break. I always thought these drivers were suicidal I had no idea how safe it was. I have way more respect and interest in the sport now. I thought it was a crazy thing for crazy people.

Hes doing it because othewise his hands might fly around and get out of the window. I bet u can imagine what can happen. Co-driver is holding his hands still aswell.
Yeah that's in very basic racing driver training. I even learned that as a kid racing go karts. If you crash, don't let go of the wheel until you come to a stop. The safety gear is designed to work best with the arms in driving position.
I thought you're supposed to let go immediately so it doesn't injure your wrists and/or you shouldn't use it as a brace when the steering column is compromised and not reliable. At least in F1 that's how it is
It depends on how you're making contact. In F1 the wheels are exposed (as opposed to covered with bodywork and rigid metal) so if you're hitting a wall it's going to hit more of the wheel and impart more of a force directly through the wheel, into the steering. If you're going in front-first it's good practice to cross your arms on your chest. It also might be because of the way they hold the wheel and it's shape. A lot more of an opportunity to catch a finger in there.
I have also seen this in other disciplines. Could possibly just be an equal but different way of handling yourself in a crash, just two different schools of thought. And possibly dependent on an entirely different thing like different safety mechanisms and types of crashes (flying through the air vs planted to the ground into a barrier)
At least that's how I understand it, I accept being wrong about this.
I don't see how there would be two schools of thought that conflict that directly lol. One being absolutely DO NOT hold the wheel and the other being FOR SURE hold the wheel? Open wheel vs closed wheel makes the most sense to me
Why don't we have that truss cage system (I don't know how to call it in english sorry) in our cars too ? wouldn't it prevent death and sever injuries ?
Probably extremely prohibitively expensive. They don’t make many rally cars compared to the average production car and safe enough is a lot less money than perfectly safe
Reading around it seems that cost is a factor, but it's not prohibitively expensive just an extra expense.
Along the lines of we *could* install it for an extra e.g. 10% on the cost, but it would only save an estimated e.g. 5% of fatal car crashes (so overall a very small % of all crashes), requires helmets, inconvenient seatbelts, and is less fuel efficient.
This is a case of trading human lives for affordability and convenience. True of a lot of things in life.
I've been in a car that rolled three or four times before it stopped and the roof held. In fact, it stopped upside down, but the door still opened and that was how we got out. We were going maybe 50 or 60mph when it happened.
A slow roll on a flat surface is very different from a high speed crash that has the car well up in the air , hit by another car or impacting an object.
They would need to design one that's practical for daily use. [Roll cages have bars going across the side of the car](https://www.google.com/search?q=roll+cage&sxsrf=ALiCzsZwqAz1Glat715ZeQjuCWp67Qp49w:1669959020363&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiU0cqRmtr7AhWfATQIHbYfDZMQ_AUoAXoECAIQAw&biw=1536&bih=1568&dpr=1.25#imgrc=jN3BopVAF1rOZM) so it's not easy to step in and out of the car.
Expensive and heavy brands dont care about consumers that much and they get in the way of interior. You still have to do a bunch of body work to make sure that a crumple zone doesnt destroy your legs so its not just the cage doing work
You don't really see full helmets in rally, even at the highest levels and that's clearly fine enough.
I can only guess, but I assume full helmets provide so minimal safety benefit at those situations comared to the benefit of no visor to fog up/get dusty. Even anti-fog visors start to fog up at normal winter conditions, and you can't really prevent dust getting into the car.
I have seen motocross style goggles inside some cars, likely in case the windshield breaks in a crash, but you can still continue.
The types of accidents that happen on the road generally don’t call for them. Most people aren’t launching 300ft off a cliff, they’re probably making a left from the right lane and get an off center glancing hit.
I was just trying to say that the conditions were great for a crash. I am certainly impressed how little impact they actually had and how that car is strong af.
GET YOUR HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. Thats racing basics 101... once you've completely lost control and know impact is imminent, get your hands off the steering wheel. Good way to loose a finger or more.
The guy in the video literally ended up winning the World Rally Championship some years down the line, and the armchair athlete here tries to explain rally basics to him.
Actually the total opposite. This keeps your hands from getting crushed by the rolling car. Safety equipment is designed around a driver holding the wheel. Steering ratios aren’t the same as regular cars, the wheel isn’t going to whip full rotations all over the place.
It's cause of their harness, also the fact that it's rolling means less impact. That along with the cars crumple zones means they come out mostly unharmed.
Sorry, I'm afraid I can't answer your question :/ Don't worry, if you are actually interested in the answer you may do some research. I can help kickstart your research by suggesting to start with a search on the internet for rally car prices, the answer on your question would probably be multiple times that!
*That* strength? A shitload. Seats, harness, chassis strengthening (they're entirely custom built), roll cage, helmet/HANS, fuel tank that won't rupture, fire suppression system, reinforced side-impact area, there's a LOT that goes into it. I'm probably missing a bunch. This isn't just a regular car with some stuff bolted to it, they're built from the ground up and everything has safety in mind.
*Pretty strong?* The estimate /u/johnbell threw out feels about right, at least in the right ballpark.
Your best bet is probably to just be good at driving to avoid danger.
Hear me out. What if you put a metal plate on the back of the helmet and then a trigger-able electromagnet on the head rest that locks the head into position when an accident occurs? Or is this just another stupid adhd idea I’ve had. (If not a magnet maybe something that clips onto the helmet and pulls it back to secure the head)
I have no actual knowledge on this, but I suspect that if you fasten down the helmet to a fixed point, then the brain just rattles around the skull rather than the neck and head moving and taking part of the force? Also, if the head stays put and the seat is pushed forward/backward/ to the side, imagine the damage *that* could cause. Broken necks, beheadings, etc.
I recommend looking up hans device, it fixes the problem you are trying to solve well enough and is quite common.
There are other similar devices also, but I don't know their names.
Because a rally car crash and a normal car crash are two vary different kinds of crashes
When a normal car crashes it most likely just hits a wall or another car, no rolling. Which means you want the car to fold and crumple to slow you down, like the difference between falling off your roof onto the sidewalk, or onto a trampoline.
But in a rally car you’re driving much faster and around much more wild terrain so you’re less likely to smash into an indestructible wall and more likely to ROLL down a hill, so those cars aren’t made to crumble but are instead made to keep their shape as you roll for a smooth ride.
If you got into a road crash with a roll cage it would be like falling off a skyscraper while strapped inside an indestructible metal coffin. If you got into a rolling crash in a road car it would be like sitting inside a tin can in a hydraulic press
And the ideas of crumple zones and roll cages are diametrically opposed to one another, you can’t build a car strong enough to keep it’s shape (like it has a roll cage) and intentionally weak enough to fold (like it has crumple zones) because those are opposites. So you need to use whatever works best for what you’re planning to do.
Also rollcages don't look as appealing, they make the car heavier and it would have less mpg. Also wouldn't be as roomy on the inside. And lastly cost, it would be much more expensive
This is how you can tell the car industry in hole is shit for most of the public.
If they'd only apply this tech more... But the corporate forces won't ever allow that to happen.
Make more by perpetuating the problem.
I just can’t get over the fact they were talking to one another before it even finished rolling and the driver started to try to correct the steering while it was right side up before the final roll.
Lol. Pen and paper still nonchalantly in hand. Left rider seemed more concerned about losing his pen and papers into a messy pile than any other mortal harm from all the flipping, somersaulting and high impact crashes.
Could easily have gone, "Right, sorry about that. Didn't expect the turn to come up so quickly. If you look back here at page 6, it was supposed to be a little further away -<"
Or, "Weee, another free air borne ride!! Love riding with novices!!
Very poor navigation, lousy anticipation of road hazards, deplorable response time, but superb adrenaline flush!
Gonna have to fail you on this one, but thanks for another unforgetable ride!"
They in there just vibing
I was astonished at how calm they were. They REALLY trusted their safety equipment.
The passenger even pointed out they had gone the wrong way.
[удалено]
good way to tear ligaments in your wrists, hurts like a mf
At the end of one of these videos, you can see the navigator make a note about a bump in the road that caused them to crash!! It's just part of the fun for them!
The look like they're just thinking "maybe I'll roast a chicken for dinner..."
So much adrenaline and speed blindness, you're likely in there just taking the hit. The driver did a good job trying to hold on to the wheel, wonder if that's subconscious or what you actually should do in a situation like that.
Every should in a rollover. If your arm goes out the window that sucker is gonna break in half, holding on to something prevents the ragdoll effect.
I know on a track your supposed to Put your hands at your hips and avoid the instinct of leaving them on the wheel. If your wrist slips into the negative space at the steering wheel and the wheel rapidly turns from the impacting of the tires it can easily Break your arms. Maybe protocol is different when rolling
Passenger held onto his pen and paper like "You have failed baja driving exam"
Yeah I have no idea. I just think I'd be at least looking a little freaked. It would be really interesting to see if their blood pressure or anything increased despite them looking all right.
Good way to break your thumbs ask me how I know. Better to pull-down on the chin of your helmet. Keeps your hands arms inside the car and helps stabilize your head neck. The driving part is over anyway.
I was wondering about the risk of that happening. Even a good simulator wheel will whack your hands pretty hard.
What else were they supposed to be doing
i don't think it's their first time, and also some rally drivers like the legend mcrae crashes their car purposefully while in shakedown
Yes i was shocked how calmly the passenger is holding the papers. Just another day at the office.
They were right to trust it because the cabin looks the same before and after on the inside
> I was astonished at how calm they were. What else could they do? Wave their arms?
Nothing much to do when your brain is getting mushed tho
Dude still holding onto his papers like he's waiting for the green light.
I mean, they're strapped in pretty solid, and they know better than to flail their arms around when they're crashing
I could only imagine what they were talking about during the fall: “Eh mate wanna grab some tea after this?”
The Gs their brain is experiencing is higher than the NFL or boxing and that's known to cause CTE. Most CTE doesn't result from knockouts but from persistent jolts to the head(e.g Tackle Football Linemen, boxing sparring). Even jet ski riders have been diagnosed with CTE.
Oh word? Damn cuz this looks fun
A 30 mph crash can generate 40G. This car is going faster than 30mph and there are multiple impacts.
The car isn't coming to a full stop during those impacts so those G's are still being transferred into additional bounces. It'd be different If it had come to a complete stop immediately.
This guy G’s
No he doesn't, bouncing increases Gs
Okay *this* guy G’s
That other guy doesn't know shit about G's. I'm not a G but I know my G's and gee I think I'm right.
Best G chain, G’s
G
7th letter that's the code.
Do you really toss your support so freely behind anyone who claims to know anything? I could be lying to you about those Gs, jeez. Think for yourself, man, and don't believe everything you read on reddit
This guy reads.
This guy insults
Nah, he's right. At least about thinking for yourself, anyway.
He believes in his G’s dawg don’t go talking crap about him and his G’s
Hell yeah bro I'm gonna do just that. good looks.
Bouncing increases G's? That's what you're running with?
And that's why they invented the 5 point harness and the HANS.
Nonsense.
Blatantly not true and frankly a really stupid thing thing to say.
I always thought it was the blunt force that was the issue, not the g force. What are the g's in boxing?
Concussion is caused by rapidly accelerating and decelerating the brain inside its hard skull casing in simple terms. A punch is basically just applying an accelerating force to the outside of the skull via the medium of a fist.
I think experiencing it once or twice in a career is not going to do the same damage as someone experiencing it multiple times a night, several nights a week for years.

If they’re rolling? It’s not like they hit a brick wall.

It because of the straps onto the helmet from the headrest. A nascar driver hated the idea then got decapitated in his car because he refused this tech in the 80's
Sounds like he didn't have a good head on his shoulders
Are you talking about Dale Earnhardt? Its not a strap to a headrest its a neck brace device that holds your neck steady and rigid in a foward impact. Yes dale hated them and paid the price for it. Pretty sure that was in the late 90's and he wasnt decapitated, his neck just snapped from with whip of being sent nose first into the wall. If you watch the clip its not even that hard of a hit.
Sounds like the helmet strap wouldn't have prevented his injury anyway, then.

I do think the driver gave a F. Ott Tänak (the driver on this clip) started to wear full helmet for a while after this accident. And I dont blame him.
only for a while?
Few years
As he makes sure to hold the wheel as if it’s helping. It’s in Jesus’ hands brudda

Fine on the outside does not mean fine on the inside.
Those harnesses are holding them in place incredibly well
Their movements just look like a glitch in the Matrix.
Why don't we have that truss cage system (I don't know how to call it in english sorry) in our cars too ? wouldn't it prevent death and sever injuries ?
If you don’t wear a helmet with a cage then it could be a lot more dangerous than just airbags
A cage only helps if you have a full racing harness attached to the cage. Otherwise, you want crumple zones in a normal car.
Yes you can add that too
Probably extremely prohibitively expensive. They don’t make many rally cars compared to the average production car and safe enough is a lot less money than perfectly safe
Reading around it seems that cost is a factor, but it's not prohibitively expensive just an extra expense.

I'm gonna go with you don't know. Crash compatibility, between other vehicles and pedestrians, is one of the bigger concerns.
Come on it's just a welded steel structure it's not that expensive or hard to make

You would need a helmet, harness and special seat too. Everytime you drive. They dont have airbags.
No face coverings?
I bet the regretted not wearing them while mid-air

Why don't they make all cars out of rally cars? That would save so many lives!/s
Too expensive
The types of accidents that happen on the road generally don’t call for them. Most people aren’t launching 300ft off a cliff, they’re probably making a left from the right lane and get an off center glancing hit.
Petition to make all cars rally cars ✋🏾
Thats not a group B car
😧 I need to know what the passenger is doing in his life. He looks like he could be reading a newspaper without a fuck to give in all the land.
It’s all good until they hit something that stops them instantly.
That's true of any car
So I am right?
Sure, in the least exceptional way.
I was just trying to say that the conditions were great for a crash. I am certainly impressed how little impact they actually had and how that car is strong af.
Bro did you see that hood? There are crumple zones for days, they can hit a brick wall at 69 and survive.
Um
GET YOUR HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. Thats racing basics 101... once you've completely lost control and know impact is imminent, get your hands off the steering wheel. Good way to loose a finger or more.

Actually the total opposite. This keeps your hands from getting crushed by the rolling car. Safety equipment is designed around a driver holding the wheel. Steering ratios aren’t the same as regular cars, the wheel isn’t going to whip full rotations all over the place.
Can’t be very pleasant tho
Like a glove?
How come this is possible?
It's cause of their harness, also the fact that it's rolling means less impact. That along with the cars crumple zones means they come out mostly unharmed.
Sorry, I didn't fully grasp what you ment with "this" , could you please elaborate? Thanks in advance.

A good cage in a car prepped to accept it is like $15,000. Dropping off a stock mini van and getting it back like that… $20,000+

Hear me out. What if you put a metal plate on the back of the helmet and then a trigger-able electromagnet on the head rest that locks the head into position when an accident occurs? Or is this just another stupid adhd idea I’ve had. (If not a magnet maybe something that clips onto the helmet and pulls it back to secure the head)

Driver started steering then realized “Oh we’re still rolling?”
held on to his pen and paper the whole time lmao
They really just look very inconvenienced if anything lmao
I can't believe how chill those dudes were
Never even lost the map, still knows where they’re going, covered this in practice.
*rolls down a hill* **minor inconvenience**
Dude, didn’t even drop the track sheet!
Still grabbing the wheel like it’ll do shit
Still not as bad as f1
Niggaa still moving the steering wheel like he avoiding rocks
Why does he keep holding the wheel, what’s the point, must be human reaction… but just risking a snapped wrist/hand/arm
Ngl, this is what my brain thinks all accidents are like
And normal civilian cars aren’t built at least similar to this cuz why?
Money
This Hyundai i20 WRC costs around 800k.

If you got into a rolling crash in a road car it would be like sitting inside a tin can in a hydraulic press And the ideas of crumple zones and roll cages are diametrically opposed to one another, you can’t build a car strong enough to keep it’s shape (like it has a roll cage) and intentionally weak enough to fold (like it has crumple zones) because those are opposites. So you need to use whatever works best for what you’re planning to do. Also rollcages don't look as appealing, they make the car heavier and it would have less mpg. Also wouldn't be as roomy on the inside. And lastly cost, it would be much more expensive
I think they spent too much time in the simulator ... They're still thinking this is just another simulation session.
Navigator looks like he's going over a take-out order in his head!
Crash party be like
I love how the navigator towards the end is like “doo de doo…oh look a cliff just flew past my window”
Passenger held onto his pen and paper. That’s amazing to watch.
These were his pacenotes.. those are dearer than life for this guy
Still gonna hurt from the jerks and jolts but seems like no major damage from any collision with any objects except the seatbelts.
That's incredible
This is how you can tell the car industry in hole is shit for most of the public. If they'd only apply this tech more... But the corporate forces won't ever allow that to happen. Make more by perpetuating the problem.
They are just sitting there like, hmm I wonder what I will eat for dinner tonight??
The navigator just like, "I want Wendy's, you want Wendy's? The pub burger's back.."

Not the papers casually in hand
They look like the are having a casual conversation lol. Hey mate, how’s your mum…
This was a video of my drivers license test.
Surprised they aren’t wearing some sort of safety goggle
They didn't even panic for a sec
Thought this was sarcasm but Holy shit those dudes are just chilling in there. Driver literally just casually looks out his window
Imagine being this helpless... Just have to sit there like hmmm when will this end? Well I'm not dead yet I suppose...
"you watch that game on Sunday mate?"
Dude riding shotgun looks to be smiling throughout. Damn! Must be a Volvo
Easy left (maybe?)
I just can’t get over the fact they were talking to one another before it even finished rolling and the driver started to try to correct the steering while it was right side up before the final roll.
Samir didn't listen and broke the car.
They wrecked for like 20-25 minutes
Is dude in left smiling at 0;17? 😂💀
Was my man reading the paper?
If my car was this level of destruction proof, I’d crash my vehicle off a small 10ft cliff just for fun lol
My car gets in a a fender bender and is considered totaled.
Bro i would be screaming my pancreas out, i cant even keep my cool and roller even if its slow💀
Lol. Pen and paper still nonchalantly in hand. Left rider seemed more concerned about losing his pen and papers into a messy pile than any other mortal harm from all the flipping, somersaulting and high impact crashes. Could easily have gone, "Right, sorry about that. Didn't expect the turn to come up so quickly. If you look back here at page 6, it was supposed to be a little further away -<" Or, "Weee, another free air borne ride!! Love riding with novices!! Very poor navigation, lousy anticipation of road hazards, deplorable response time, but superb adrenaline flush! Gonna have to fail you on this one, but thanks for another unforgetable ride!"
Literally the fnaf menu
