I was glad to see Tim had a full containment seat in that crash. That may be a requirement in that racing, as some sanctioning bodies have stepped & require it. For others it's optional.

Regardless, it made that hard side impact a non-issue. Without a full containment seat (the head & shoulder supports) holding the driver's upper torso & head in place ... that type of crash typically causes a head snap at impact ... occasionally breaking the driver's neck.

The 7 keys to safety in these cars are cage, 5/6 point harness, full containment seat, good Nomex firesuit & gear, helmet, HANS & a fire system.

Let's keep this fun & be safe out there guys. Don't let the lack of safety rules in our sport guide your decisions.
