The video you’re about to see takes us back to a world before the six-point safety harness. Indeed helmets seem optional and the creator of the HANS device would have been laughed out of town.
Some of the footage is shocking, some of it genuinely amazing—that people got up and walked away from some of these crashes has to be seen to be believed. All we can say is, thank goodness they don’t crash ’em like this any more.

I feel sick after watching that… Definitely not a sport for the weak hearted. I was rocked by Wheldan’s accident last year, that footage highlights just how far safety standards have come.
very strong video … I experienced something similar this weekend in Europe. Hill Climb Championship of Europe – Rechberg http://youtu.be/rSZ75DLid5k
Shit. That is nasty!
