I'm sure most of you have either heard about this or seen it, but thankfully the driver walked away due to good safety equipment. Does anybody know what actually went wrong?

Looks like the car would have been fine if he didn't have the parachute

I was planning on going, but didn't want to be the 3rd will. I heard it was basically operator error. I guess the 30K cage was worth every penny.

I believe it was a customer of Underground Racing, which is based out of North Carolina.
